Pick 6 marbles. Weigh 3 against 3.

If they balance, then weigh the other two against each other to find the heavier one.

If they don't balance, look at the three that are heavier. Pick 2 and weigh them against each other. If they balance, then the 3rd marble in that group is the heavier one. If they don't balance, you have the heavier one.
