Question 12
There is a set of scales on the table and a collection of weights. Each weight is on one of the two pans. Each weight has the name of one or more pupils written on it. All the pupils are outside the room. If a pupil enters the room then he moves the weights with his name on them to the other pan. Show that you can let in a subset of pupils one at a time, so that the scales change position after the last pupil has moved his weights.
