Think Your Smart?? Try This!!?
A king demands a tax of 1,000 gold sovereigns from each of 10 regions of his nation. The tax collectors for each region bring him the requested bag of gold coins at year end. An informant tells the king that one tax collector is cheating and giving coins that are consistently 10% lighter than they should be, but he does not know which collector is cheating. The king knows that each coin should weigh exactly one ounce. How can the king identify the cheat by using a weighing device exactly once?
(I will post the answer in 3 hours!!)
put them all on the scale and take one bag at a time off and see how less is the weight. If it goes down 1000 oz then its not the one, if it goes down less then voila
