Would you get hired by a Private Equity firm? This is a common brain teaser that a lot of PE candidates get tripped up on. Comment your answer before reading the solution. ⬇️ Solution Split the balls into three groups: 3 / 3 / 2. Weigh 3 vs 3. If one side is heavier, the heavy ball is in that group. → Then weigh 1 vs 1 from the heavier group. If one is heavier, that’s your answer. If they balance, the third ball is heavier. If the 3 vs 3 balances, the heavy ball is in the remaining 2. → Weigh them against each other. Did you get it right?
