Numerical Deduction

Balance

Balance is Arctic Shores’ deduction puzzle: reference scales show combinations of shapes in equilibrium, you infer the shapes’ hidden relative weights — a simultaneous-equations puzzle — and complete the target scale so it balances.

How to Play

01

Reference scales show shape combinations that balance.

02

Work out the shapes’ relative weights from those references.

03

Drag the right shape combination onto the target scale’s empty pan.

04

Difficulty adapts — later scales need multi-step deduction.

In the real assessment

The reference-scales-then-balance format with drag placement is described consistently by preparation sources but is more thinly documented than other tasks — treat this reconstruction’s difficulty curve and timing as estimates. 10/20/30-round configurations are reported.
