ok there are 8 pills which look identical but 1 of them is poisionous and a fraction heavier.
you have a scale and the pills, and you can only use the scales twice.
how can you find the poisionus one and safe you hieny from death?
 
Take any 6 pills and put 3 on one scale, 3 on the other. If they’re even, weigh the remaining two pills, and the heavier is the poisonous one. If the 6 pills did not weigh evenly, take 2 out of the 3 pills from the heavier scale and weigh them on separate scales. If one is heavier, that’s the bad one. If they are the same, the pill you didn’t weigh is poisonous.
 
just don't take them. ur not sick or anything so u don't need the pills but you do need ur life. throw them all and see how much u weight :)
 
Randomly choose any 6 pills.

Put 3 on each scale. See which side is heavier.

Then take those 3 and weigh them. You will find the poisonous one.
 
this sounds like professor Layton and the curious village

1st go on scales:

Put any 3 on each side of the scale scale if they are equal weight you can discard them both, if not you discard the lighter of the 2 groups.

No matter what you will have reduced your option down to 3. Put any one on each side. If the scales are equal then the one not on the scale is the one, if the scale tips, choose the appropriate one.

good luck
