Common sense and basic math should get you there =)
You have 10 bags of marbles, each bag has exactly 10 marbles in it. All 100 marbles look the same and have the same outer size. 9 bags have marbles that weigh exactly the same (90 marbles in total). The tenth bag has marbles that are a little bit lighter than the other 90 but the same as each other.
You only get one chance to weigh.. how do you find out the bag with the lighter marbles?
