These problems relate to objects of different weight, and using a balanced scale to determine the odd item, be it a false coin, or an under-filled sack of grain. (Usually it's coins though)
You have eight bags, each of them containing 48 coins.
Five of these bags contain only true coins, the rest of them contain fake coins. Fake coins weigh 1 gram less than the real coins.
You do not know what bags have fake coins and what bags have real coins. You do not know also, besides that it is an integer value, the weight of the real coins.
You can use a digital or analog reading scale with precision up to 1 gram.
Making only one weighing and using the minimum number of coins, how can you find the bags containing the fake coins?
