How do you solve a seesaw puzzle?
L: sit on the left, R: sit on the right, -: don’t sit on the seesaw. For example person F will sit on the right, then stand out, then on the left….
- the same number of islanders are always on each side of the seesaw.
- no pattern is repeated.
- the opposite of each used pattern is not used.
Is the Brooklyn Nine Nine Riddle solvable?
In the show, no solution to the puzzle is presented and at first glace I thought this problem was not solvable, since there are only three measurements of two outcomes (seesaw is balanced, or seesaw is unbalanced), meaning we can only discern between 2³ = 8 outcomes rather than the 12 we need.
What does a heavier kid have to do in order to play seesaw with a lighter kid move towards or away from the center?
So the reason the heavy kid sits on the ground while the light kid is up in the air is that their mutual center of mass is on the heavy kid’s side of the pivot. To make the seesaw work, the heavy kid must push that center of mass forward until it just touches the pivot.

Is the 12th person heavier or lighter than the Islander?
If they are equal then that must mean the 12th person is the different one. Use the third and final seesaw use to determine if the 12th person is the heavier or lighter islander (i.e. 1 v 12) If you found that the second group weigh was unequal, then weigh 9 vs 10.
How many islanders are there on the island?
There is an island with 12 islanders. All of the islanders individually weigh exactly the same amount, except for one, who either weighs more or less than the other 11. You must use a see-saw to figure out whose weight is different, and you may only use the see-saw 3 times.
