BrainPop has some holes in their offerings as far as curriculum coverage goes so I'd like to see those addressed. Thanks Andrew.

Thanks for describing an interesting problem. No guarantees but I’ll see if I can find time to work on it in the near future. Thanks for describing an interesting problem.

I now have 5 *pairs* of weight, meaning each pair is identical and of the same weight. and supposedly can measure up to over 1.5kg. with just 5, solution is (3^5-1)/2 = up to 121g and with 10, it'd be (3^10-1)/2 = up to 29,524g but 5 pairs? we are no mathematician and have been thinking long and hard for a day and cant figure out a solution. help? thank you. problem revisited.

with just 5, solution is (3^5-1)/2 = up to 121g
and with 10, it’d be (3^10-1)/2 = up to 29,524g

but 5 pairs? we are no mathematician and have been thinking long and hard for a day and cant figure out a solution.

help? thank you.
