1) You have 8 identical balls, but one of them is heavier than the other 7. By using a scale, what is the least amount of attempts to use by weighing the balls to find the heaviest one?
2) A man is about to crash into a tree when he subconsciously turns the wheel and avoids the tree by inches. Would you call this luck, or divine guidance? What would you say to convince me that your answer is true, WITHOUT saying that what you say is true because you are a genius?
3) You are traveling down a path and you reach a fork in the road. Two men are standing next to each path. One way leads you to your destination, and the other leads you to instant death. One man will always tell you the truth, and the other will always tell you a lie.
What question would you ask them that will give you 100% assurance that you picked the right path?
