So I would be allowed to keep placing marbles on the two balances until they both said 49g? Once I have done that I have 100g. The actual weights would be 48g and 52g. Using your sample weights: -3 +1 5.4 5.9 5.6 6.1 6.3 6.3 7.6 6.8 8.2 7.1 9.2 7.5 9.7 8.3 Say I pick the (-3) balance first. Placing the first set of marbles will make is say 49g. I then place the rest on the second balance for another 49g.

Keep placing marbles until each digital scale says 49g? Or is that considered more than once use for a scale just trying to get to 49g? I was making an assumption that given a large sample of varying marbles some trial would be required to find marbles that can be combined to total 100g. If that is not allowed can you expand upon the problem? Because with the wording given it could be impossible to exactly measure 100g. Say there are 20 marbles each weighing 5.5g. It would be impossible to get 100g. It is possible to make a set of marbles weigh different amounts above 5g that can never be combined in such a way to total 100g exactly. With this puzzle it should be assumed that it is possible to combine some marbles to total 100g. But how else can you find them amongst those that can't total 100g.
