Does anyone remember the coin riddle Columbo told in this episode?
Yes, you have as many bags as you please, (a minimum of two). You can have as many pieces of gold in the bags as you like and you can determine the weight of the coins as well, but the fake coins will weigh differently (more or less, it's up to you). You have a penny scale, meaning you can place something on a scale put a penny in and then receive a slip with the weight amount on it. If you don't want to see the solution don't continue reading. Answer: For the answer i will use simple denominations of weight. There are three bags with five pieces of gold in each bag. Each real piece weighs one pound and each fake piece weighs 1 pound one ounce. So you have bags A, B, and C and one is full of gold that is slightly heavier (fake). You take one coin from the first bag, two coins from the second, and three from the third and you put all 6 coins on the scale and weigh them. Now if all coins were real this should amount to 6 pounds, however, that isn't the case and you can determine the the fake bag by the overage weight. So for instance if the reading comes back with 6 pounds 2 ounces then bag B is the one with the fakes. Since every fake piece is one extra ounce and you're two ounces over it must be the bag that you took 2 coins from which would be bag B.. If it was 6 pounds 3 ounces then it would be bag C and 6 lbs one oz would be bag A. Alternatively, since you decide the amount of coins in each bag you could specifically say that you want one coin in the first bag two coins in the second, three in the third etc. and just weigh the bags together. Then you just follow the same train of thought to determine the fake bag.

If you get paid three bags of gold but one is fake how do you determine which one it is?
If you are certain two bags contain real gold, and if the three bags are supposed to be identical, then do the following. Find a balance scale. Take two of the bags and place one on each pan. If the scales balance, then the third one is bogus. Execute the guy who gave you that bag. If the scale fails to balance, you'll have to make another comparison. Remove the lighter bag and replace it with the third bag. If the scales balance, then the one you removed is bogus. Commence executions. If the scale fails to balance, then the heavier bag is bogus. Execute the fraud.
