Question

You have 10 sets of ten coins. One set of the ten is counterfeit, the others are genuine. The genuine coins weigh exactly 0.10 ounces. The counterfeit coins are exactly a 0.01 ounces off, making the entire set of ten coins 0.10 ounces off. You may use an extremely accurate digital scale only once. How do you determine which set is counterfeit?
