Just seen an episode of Columbo where he solves a variation of this puzzle.

Now all I need to do is sit back and wait for the episode where he tracks down a mysterious cube! Laughing

First ever post and I dont mean to be pedantic ...but Wink

Just thought as the labmates were meant to do it with the minimum of pills
you only pick pills from four jars i.e 4 from red, 3, from yellow 2 from blue and 1 from green if they weigh exactly 100g you know the jar you havent weighed contains the poisoned pills. If it weighs less then you know 96g=red, 97g= yellow.... etc are the poisoned pills.

Of course spot on bradius!!

Has anyone tried to input this into the site? I'm slightly confused as to how you solve it using the interface they suply you with!

Ditto. Just tried that and it says "Bad luck. You haven't entered all the answers" or something like that. Don't wanna lock any further attempts at this card just because I can't figure out the seemingly simple task of entering 5 numbers.
