1) Weigh 9 of the weights against another 9. If one side is lighter, that set of nine has the counterfeit coin. If not, one of the remaining 8 is counterfeit.
2) Out of the group of 9 (or 8), weigh three against 3. If one side is lighter, that group of 3 has the counterfeit coin. If not, the remainint 3 (or 2) has it.
3) Out of the remainint 3 (or 2) coins, weight one against one. The lighter one is the counterfeit. If neither side is lighter, the other coin is the counterfeit.
1st weighing.:
9 against 9
This would determine which group of 9 or 8 contains the counterfeit.
2nd weighing:
From the subject group of nine:
3 against 3
This would determine which group of 3 or 2 contains the counterfeit.
Once the group of 3 (or 2) is determined to contain the counterfeit,
3rd weighinq
1 against 1
This is now elementary to determine the particular weight
