I have a static 7-weighing schedule:

  • {3,5,6,7}
  • {1,4,6,7,8}
  • {1,2,5,7,8,9}
  • {1,2,3,6,8,9,10}
  • {2,3,4,7,9,10,11}
  • {3,4,5,8,10,11,12}
  • {1,4,5,6,9,11,12}

This can also be given in terms of ON/OFF (with 1/0) given the array of 12 coins:

  • 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
  • 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
  • 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0
  • 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0
  • 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0
  • 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1
  • 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1

I am still considering how to properly explain it in an intuitive way. The pattern in the above bit-array-set is obvious - i.e. some kind of shifting pattern. But as to how/why this achieves the goal (c.f. my other answermy other answer) is not yet clear.
