Hey folks, I had to give in on this one tonight so lets see how you can do.
Some of you may have heard it before as it was off Colombo - a fellow Ma'ist has been watching too much daytime TV
I give you 5 bags of gold.
You have one scale to weigh with, but you can only use it once.
There are 4 bags of real gold and 1 bag of fake gold.
The bars of real gold weigh 1 lbs the fake gold weighs 1 lbs 1 ounce.
You can put any combination of bags/ bars you like on the scale but you can only use it once - 1 reading.
Can you work out which bag is the fake?
Official Colombo status if you can figure it out.
