A Mushroom Puzzle from Le Lion Spawn circa 1986 “An Irish mushroom grower produces twelve mushrooms. Eleven of the twelve mushrooms are of identical size and weight. The twelfth mushroom is either lighter or heavier than the other eleven.
You have a set of balance scales. Given the opportunity of THREE comparative weighings, can you identify the odd mushroom out and also say whether it is LIGHTER or HEAVIER than the other eleven.
A special prize of a case of "JAMIESON WHISKEY" is being offered by "LE LION" Spawn to the first mushroom grower to submit the correct answer to: I.P.P. Ltd. P.O. Box 4 Wilmslow Cheshire by noon, 9th October, 1986.”
