If you can stand another riddle, hereis one I have always liked!
You are condemmed to death, but are given a chance. You are given a very precise balance (the kind that has two balancing trays) and nine pills. Eight of the pills are poisoned, and only one is safe to take. All nine pills are exactly the same in colour, look, size and weight, except that the safe pill is a bit heavier than the rest. You are only allowed to use the balance twice, and then you will have to eat one pill. What do you do?
