Reveal Answer
Answer - Take 6 of the 7 coins and put 3 on each side of the scale. If they balance then there is one heavy coin in each set. Then take 2 coins from a set and if they balance the odd one if the heavy. If the 3 vs. 3 does not balance then the heavy set contains the coin. Etc. Etc. So you should only need 3 weighings.Doesn't match Missing info Like question
