If there are 8 balls each of different weight.What are the minimum number of chances and also the maximum number of chances to find out the heaviest ball of the lot.For example the 8 balls weigh 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 lbs respectively.And you have a weighing pan with you for the task.
Responses are appreciated.
Minimum - 1st chance
Maximum - 8th chance
