How to play Balance Scale Detective

  1. There are eight coins, exactly one heavier than the others.
  2. Tap a coin to cycle between off-scale, left pan and right pan. A valid weighing uses the same nonzero number of coins on both sides.
  3. Use at most two weighings, then select your final answer. Guessing ends the round.
