Actually thats not the way to do it, you could never time the 7 minute hourglass at exactly half way,
you turn both the 7 and 4 mintue over
then when the 4 minutes runs out you turn it over
next the 7 mintue will run out so you turn it over, after the 4 minteu runs out again you turn over the 7 minute becaus eit has 1 mintue of sand on its bottom then, when that one runs out 9 minutes are measured

basicly yoru right actually it was somethign about 1988 dollars worth mroe than 1987 dollars, exactly waht you siad in other words then...
My son and I were driving through the city and we noticed that the old single-light bulb lights were replaced with LED's. My son noticed, however, that the yellow lights were not LED's, while the others were. My son asked me why the yellows were not LED's. I said, "well, it must be easier to create green and red LED's than yellow." My son accepted that for a while. Then he spoke up:
"Know what? I have a better reason."
WHAT WAS THE REASON?

because minucipality is incredibly lazy

Because nobody pays attention to yellow lights anyway.

They are lit up much less than green and red, so it would be more economical to leave the yellows as regular lights instead of replacing them with the more expensive LED lights.

all of the above
Easy. balance them so you have 12 on each side. The lighter pile has the gold coin. You balance that side so you have 6 on each side. Again, the lighter pile has the gold coin. You balance 2 of the remaining coins. If one is lighter, that's the gold. If they weigh the same, the third is the gold.Trogg said:thers another you have 24 coins but only one of them is made of godl the rest are heavier you must use a balace scale to find out which one of the 24 is gold and if you find out you can keep it
There is no faster way to do it.

Close. Very close. It's close enough for me to post the answer.
Yellow lights burn out much more slowly than red and green, because the yellows are only on about 2 seconds. The yellow ones are replaced as the bulb burns out, but it takes considerably longer to burn out the yellow bulb.

that would'nt work unless you only had 12 coins to measure there are 24, when you weighed 12 and the coin wasn't in that pile you couldn't do it then and you coudl only get the coin by pure chance. edit: (by the way how do i make it say originally posted by*random person*?)
