weavus135 Pillar of the Community United States 539 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 12:17 am take 1 coin from cave 1, 2 coins from cave 2, 3 coins form cave 3 etc until you have 13 coins from cave 13. Be sure you mark them so you know which ones are from each cave! Put that all on the scale. If they were all real it would weigh 910 grams. Depending on what you get for weight you will be able to determine which cave had the fake coins. For example if the stack weighed only 909, the fake coin was in cave one, if it weighed 897, your fakes coins are in cave 13 Report this Post to the Staff
docsfishn Pillar of the Community United States 1031 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 12:20 am Ali-Baba can take 1 coin out of the 1st cave and weigh it with his only weigh in. If it is 10 grams then he can take it and go buy a new scale so he can weigh all the other caves to find the counterfeit ones (to sell on ebay of course). If the coin weighs 9 grams then all the other caves have the real gold coins in them. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 12:21 am Correct again! Basically the difference between 910 and the actual weight will tell you the number of the chamber with fake coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Guadalupe Victoria Valued Member Mexico 53 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 12:50 am Svslav: I have not reached the 50 posts to use the email system; also I live in Mexico, so postage raises considerably. The intention of sending a reward to all who answered a question is great of you, so please send mine to the one who made the post that corresponds to the number of the day you were born.

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 01:25 am Good job weavus! Thanks for the quiz svslav! I can definitely say I learned from it, which I know was one of your goals - thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 01:34 am Got it, Guadelupe! Thanks for not being too difficult. Thanks, Scooby, just wanted to share some bits that I knew. Originally my questions were supposed to be heavier leaning into UK coinage - my thing, but I tamed it down a tad. Report this Post to the Staff

docsfishn Pillar of the Community United States 1031 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 08:45 am I can say that there are a few coins that have been added to my want list as a result of the reasearch from this quiz. Once again thanks for the quiz svslav! Report this Post to the Staff
weavus135 Pillar of the Community United States 539 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 12:02 pm thank you svslav for the great contest. I do love a good mastermind game but I also love history and this contest made me go do some research. I really did learn a few things about British coinage and I can see why they don't go to the Euro...they wouldn't have any cute names for them! And those Brits and their traditions... LOL thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
wolf-n-wa Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 7:16 pm Great contest Svslav,Thank you. Learned a lot through the reasearch I had to do.
