21. The Scale Of All Scales - SOLUTION (go back to riddle)

You would only need five weights in order to do this. There are multiple configurations, but one solution is a set of the following weights (in pounds): 1, 3, 9, 27, and 60. The key to this riddle is to understand that you can weigh something that weighs two pounds by putting the object and the one-pound weight on one side of the scale and the three-pound weight on the other side. Once this ‘clicks’ in your mind you realize how few weights you need to be able to count all the way up to 100.
