Question:
Suppose that you have \(n\) objects that have identical weight, except for one that is a bit heavier than the others. You have a balance scale. You can place objects on each side of the scale and see which collection is heavier. Your goal is to find the heavier object, with the minimum number of weighings. Find and prove matching upper and lower bounds for this problem.
