Upon entering the Fourth Hall, you see a gigantic weighing scale at the end of the hall, right in front of the gate to the Fifth Hall.
The plaque reads as follows:
After each of your posts in a thread, you are allowed to PM and ask to weigh any specific combination of ingots - the GM will PM you back telling you which side is heavier. For instance:
Player: "I weigh Ingots 4, 5, 6 against Ingots 1, 2, 3."
GM: "The scale containing Ingots 1, 2, 3 is heavier."
If you wish, you may save up your scale uses into a single PM. You can do something as followed:
- Player: "I want to weigh 1, 2, 3 against 4, 5, 6. If 1, 2, 3 is heavier, I want to weigh 1 and 2. If 4, 5, 6 is heavier, I want to weigh 4 and 5."
This would be an example of 2 scale uses in the same PM and would save time having to make multiple PMs.
You receive hints in this hall every 3 posts.
You may PM to weigh ingots every post.
You may guess the correct ingot every 3 posts.
If you are working on this puzzle as a team, any player may guess as soon as you have weighed ingots a total of 3 times. You will still need 3 posts each to advance to the next hall.
The plaque reads as follows:
24 Gold Ingots have been scattered throughout this hall. 23 of these weigh the same - one weighs just slightly heavier, beyond sensory recognition. Using the scale in the hall only up to 3 times, find the one gold ingot that is heavier than the rest. If the scale is weighed more than 3 times, or if the wrong ingot is selected, the puzzle will reset and the weight of all ingots will change.
