Advanced Logical & Puzzle Questions

Q1. You have 12 balls. One of them is either heavier or lighter than the others (which are of equal weight), but

you don't know which. Using a balance scale only three times, how can you find the different ball and determine

whether it's heavier or lighter?

Q3. You are in a room with two doors. One leads to freedom and the other to death. Two guards stand by: one

always tells the truth, the other always lies. You dont know which is which. You can ask one question to one

guard. What do you ask to escape safely?
