Question

Accepted Answer

Identify the slightly lighter bowl among fifteen identical steel bowls without using a weighing scale or holding them.

Observe the bowls closely for any visible differences in shape or size.
Tap each bowl gently and listen for any differences in sound.
Place each bowl on a flat surface and observe if any wobble or spin longer than others.
Use a magnet to check if any bowl is made of a different material.
Check the temperature of each bowl with your hand to see if any is cooler or warmer than others.
Eliminate the bowls one by one until only the slightly lighter one remains.
Use a process of elimination to narrow down the options and identify the lighter bowl.
