    Here goes the question. . .

    There are 10 bags containing unlimited no. of coins
    9 bags have 10gm coins and
    1 bag has 9gm coins.

    You are given a balance which you can use only ONCE(You can use standard weights).

    You have to select the bag with 9gm coins.

    HOW TO DO THIS ?????

    First, count the number of bags 1 to 10. Take 1 coin from bag 1, 2 coins from bag 2,.....in this way until you’ve 55 coins, and measure them. If all of the coins weighed 10 grams, you get the weight of 550g, but the weight will be different. Subtract the actual weight from 550. The difference will be the number of the bag that contains the 9g coins :).

    It’s only possible if you rotate the hole clock 180 degree from its normal position, and the time will be 7:30 :).

    Of course you can manage that amount of traffic! Invest all the way you can in online and offline advertisement. Consider to advertise your website in Google, Yahoo!...top ranking websites, local and international online/offline newspapers/sports magazines. Ads of your site in top graded sports TV channels (ESPN, 10Sports, Star Sports...blablabla) will bring you a tremendous amount of web traffic ;).

    Oh! One secret thing. I got grade D- in mathematics several times in varsity exams. Don’t say this to anybuddy...ok :rolleyes:!

    Sorry man, the answer you provided is not the right one. You cannot alter the clock's orientation. The clock is upright.
