TIDBITS RIDDLE

[Benjamin Mark]

So here it is. No Tidbits again. Server crashed. Had to switch to new
server. Don't ask. However ... I will make it up here and now. A
riddle for you for the week. It ain't easy. But it'll keep the gray
matter working. Ready?

You have a balance scale. You have twelve pieces of candy. Eleven
pieces have the exact same weight. The twelfth one weighs different.
You don't know if it weighs more or less. This candy is poisonous.
Using the balance scale only three times ... find the poisonous piece
of candy.

Have fun kiddies.
