Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

I'd fail, because I'd think it was a trick question; my answer would be "I'd delegate this question by contacting a person who's more proficient in statistics."

ION, as a good FauxGrandma, I am helping FauxGrandSon with fundraising for the choir tour by buying two pies, one of which can go in the (my!new!big!) freezer so I'm not sitting in front of the tv with a fork in each hand. One Key Lime and one cherry. Nummy nummy.
Annoyingly, a third of my freezer is taken up by the ice maker I don't intend to use.

Yep. "Who was doing quality control? Did their test cases cover the possibility of one of the coins being lighter?"
I was so glad that MSFT stopped using those sorts of logic puzzles when I went through interviews with them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks for nothing, man -- I already didn't have a sandwich for lunch and probably won't have a sandwich for dinner!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I had sushi for lunch, and I'm having stew for dinner. I have failed at National Sandwich Day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think it would work the same with 8. You make two piles of three and one of two, weigh the two piles of three against each other and the coin is either in one of those piles or it is in the pile of two.

Same here. I am overwhelmed with my sandwichlessness.
