The Game of Riddles

[alias]

one could make a case that it can be done in one, citing that if you don't take all the balls off then it is still sort of the first use of the scale, no matter how many times you manipulate the balls on the scale. that said, i think the answer you are looking for is 2.

weigh 3 balls on each side, leaving 2 off the scale

this leaves you with 2 possibilities, a balanced scale or an unbalanced scale.

if it's balanced, you know that the heavy ball is one of the 2 not on the scale, weigh them with second use of the scale and discover the heavier one. if it's inbalanced, you then know that it's one of the 3 balls on the heavier side of the scale. pull one of those balls off and weigh the other 2 against each other. if they balance, the ball you pulled out of the heavy side is the heavy ball, if they don't then the heavier side of the scale has your heavy ball on it

[Runesmith]

One day, Runesmith was caught consorting with the favorite harem sex slave of the Sheikh of Dubai, and was condemned to death.

The Sheikh gave Runesmith three options for death, which, if he escaped, would result in a full pardon and freedom:
1) Being dumped bound in steel chains in to a vat of boiling oil
2) Being locked in a room naked, with hands tied behind his back, in a room with 10 armed assassins who will be given 10,000 Shekels for bringing his head to the Sheikh
3) Being thrown unarmed, in handcuffs in to a pit with 10 lions that haven't eaten in years

the lions. lions that haven't eaten in years have starved to death and aren't much of a threat

[Runesmith]

Runesmith is in his deathbed, and suddenly all the women he had ever slept with all over the world are clamoring to be the one to inherit his Aston Martin DB9. In his old age, Runesmith can't remember them all, and can't remember how good they each were in bed, so he has no way to determine who was the best. Since only one person can own it, Runesmith decides to give them all a task and choose a winner.

He sends them all a single sunflower seed, and tells them to plant it in a pot, take care of it, and send him a photo of the plant in exactly 30 days. The one with the best looking plant wins. On the 30th day, his kik is full of photos of vibrant, healthy sunflower plants, except from one girl in the Mediterranean who sends him a photo of an empty pot because her seed failed to germinate. Runesmith declares her the winner and gives her the DB9.

Why?
