Well, like I said I didn't clear or reject anybody for getting to or not getting this solution. But the solution posted by both you and Venky works and I can't find any error in it. Quite silly that I missed it since the approach used is similar to that for the 9 ball problem which I sent to Lukhman (i.e. switch sides of the balls which can only be heavier/lighter). I still need another puzzle to use, and this time I'll check online for a solution first without relying on my own brain :) Kiran
