Answer - Finding the short weight coin - divide the 9 coins into 3 sets of 3 coins (A, B, C). Weigh A versus B. If they balance, the short coin is in "C" (if they don\'t balance, the problem coin is in the lighter set). Having identified the problem set, weigh two of those coins. If they balance, it\'s the third coin.Doesn't match Missing info Like question
