1) Put four pills on each side. The heavier side has the pill. Take the four pills from the heavier side.
2) Put two of the potential pills on each side of the scale. The heavier side has the poison pill.
3) Take the two potential pills. Swallow one. If you survive, you are holding the poison pill. If you die, you have eaten the poisoned pill. Either way you will find out which one it is for sure
1) Weigh 6 of them, 3 on each side
2a) If both sides are equal, weigh the 2 you didn’t use before.
2b) If one side was heavier, pick 2 of the 3 and weigh them. Heavier one is poisoned. If they’re even, it’s the 3rd.
Well, all I can say is that we all have our methods and some of us are more willing to take a risk in the name of science
And here we see natural selection at work.
1) eat them all 2) wait for death
1) just measure all of them until you find the one that’s heavier and take as many tries as you need
2) if anyone points out you’re not supposed to use the scales more than twice, kick them in the dick until they stop being such a pedantic fuck god damn man lives are on the line.
You can actually accomplish this with only half a measurement if you put them all at once on one side of the scale and don’t take them off for the duration of the level, then if you put them all on the scale in the precise angle to make sure the plate’s polygon’s incline allows you to build up speed over a period of 12 hours to increase the pills defacto speed so you can move them across the tetradimensional grid while staying in place, thus allowing you to deposit them on the other plate one by one and effectively indicating a change in the total weight difference. Then you can repeat as needed until you find your poisoned pill. Do not forget to properly place your scuttlebug first, since you will need it in order to reach the pill once you find it and still taking no whole measurements.
