The 8 coins were of equal weight of each other not equal weight of the lightweight coin.

lol. Actually, I should have put that down as my answer. Instead, I actually took the time to figure it out. I should have just sat there and stared at the hot senior. No wait, she sits all the way in the back of the class. Damn. That room is extremely cold too.

who knows and who really cares.
i guess that this is why it is posted in the offtopic B.S. section. anyway as i said before i dont see why anyone would really care about it and i will leave it at that.

The coin was painted brught red and the rest were silver.

OK,

here goes

you have a total of 9 coins, you break them up into 3 groups of 3. you take 2 groups and weigh them against each other.
You have 2 possible solutions, they are equal or one is lighter then the other

If they are are equal then you take the last group and weigh 1 coin against 1 coin. if they are equal , your last remaining coin is the lightest.
or you will have a one coin lighter then the other

If one is lighter, you take that group and weigh 1 coin against 1 coin. if they are equal , your last remaining coin is the lightest.
or you will have a one coin lighter then the other

That's EXACTLY right, rudedog! I would mail you a cookie, but it would probably go stale before it got to your house.
