A king asks a scholar to visit his palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man says “I will come some day next month, but I will not tell you on which day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, you must give me gold in grams equal to the date on which I come.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In preparation for the visit, the king demands that his jeweller make gold rings of 1 to 31 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jeweller makes the following rings: 1 gram, 2 grams, 4 grams, 8 grams and 16 grams <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From these 5 weights, we can make all the numbers from from 1 to 31 by adding them together! Take a look below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 gram: <\/strong>1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 grams: <\/strong>2 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 grams: <\/strong>1 + 2 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 grams: <\/strong>4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 grams: <\/strong>1 + 4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 6 grams: <\/strong>2 + 4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 7 grams: <\/strong>1 + 2 + 4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 8 grams: <\/strong>8 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 grams: <\/strong>1 + 8 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 10 grams: <\/strong>2 + 8 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 11 grams: <\/strong>1 + 2 + 8 <\/p>\n\n\n\n . <\/p>\n\n\n\n . <\/p>\n\n\n\n . <\/p>\n\n\n\n 29 grams: <\/strong>1+ 4+ 8 + 16 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 30 grams: <\/strong>2 + 4 + 8 + 16 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 31 grams: <\/strong>1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you enjoy this puzzle?
