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 answer][1]) is not yet clear.
