  3. 2 weighings.
    divide in groups of 3.
    pick 2 groups at random.
    weigh.—->1
    if unequal choose heavier lot for reweighing or if equal choose the left out lot for reweighing.
    pick 2 coins at random and weigh.
    if unequal u hav got d heavier 1 if equal the leftout 1 is the wanted.
