tricky interview questions require presence of mind to answer them?

5) Out of eight balls, seven balls weigh equal while the one ball is slightly heavier than the others how would you figure out which one is the heavier by using a balance and only two weighing?
Take 6 balls out of 8 balls
Put 3 balls on each side of weighing machine, if they weight equal you know that the heavier ball is in the remaining two which is left out
But if they don’t weigh equal, then the heavier ball is in one of those triplets
Out of those 3 balls that have heavier ball, pick any 2 and put them on the scale and keep doing until you get your heavier ball
