3 on each side... discard the lighter ones...
pick 2 off the heavier side, and balance them... if one is heavier, it is that one... if they balance, then it is the 3rd of the heavier 3, that is not on the scales... if you know what I mean....??
You can use this method for a ighter ball too. Not ure how to o it if you don't know if it is lighter or heavier...

Yup..you got it. Sorry I was not clear in the beginning. I thought about it for a while and then realized that you needed to know if it was lighter or heavier. It has been awhile since I told anyone that.

Put 2 ***** on each side... if the balance right, then you know it is one of the other 2 ***** that you have spare. weight them... one will be heavier, the other.. If it doesn't balance frst off....
erm.. need more thinking time...

won't balance...
one side will be higher...
take one off each side...
If it balances, the high/low side ball weighed different...
If still not...
take one more off each side...
one side will be higher...

reboot your server and see if the problem replicates...

RE: Riddle me THIS, Batman...
Hafta read the whole thread next time, din't see Toff's solution B4 I posted mine...
Here's some more:
I
"At night they come without being fetched,
And by day they are lost without being stolen."
Hint: They belong to the night.
II
"I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball."
Hint: It never comes
III
"Runs over fields and woods all day
Under the bed at night sits not alone,
With long tongue hanging out,
A-waiting for a bone."
Hint: It's something very close to you.
IV
"The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place."
Hint: It's in front of you right now.
V
"There was a green house.
Inside the green house there was a white house
Inside the white house there was a red house.
Inside the red house there were lots of babies."
Hint: A fruit
