i was told this by a mate a couple of months ago and i remembered it today so i thought id let you guys and girls have a go at it.

senario

theres 27 diamonds all identical and only 1 of the diamonds is real, the 1 which is real is slightly heavier than all the other diamonds. to find the real diamond you have a set of balenced weighing scales, but you are only alowed to use the weighing scales three times. how do you find the real diamond?

feel free to pm me your answers
