Bruce is an inmate in a large prison, and like most of the other
prisoners, he smokes cigarettes. During his time in the prison, Bruce
finds that if he has 3 cigarette butts, he can cram them together and
turn them into 1 full cigarette. Whenever he smokes a cigarette, it
turns into a cigarette butt.<br />One day, Bruce is in his cell talking to one of his cellmates, Steve.<br />"I
really want to smoke 5 cigarettes today, but all I have are these 10
cigarette butts," Bruce tells Steve. "I'm not sure that will be enough."<br />"Why
don't you borrow some of Tom's cigarette butts?" asks Steve, pointing
over to a small pile of cigarette butts on the bed of their third
cellmate, Tom, who is out for the day on a community service project.<br />"I
can't," Bruce says. "Tom always counts exactly how many cigarette butts
are in his pile, and he'd probably kill me if he notices that I had
taken any."<br />However, after thinking for a while, Bruce figures out a
way that he can smoke 5 cigarettes without angering Tom. What is his
plan?<br />

When I divide it by 2, the remainder is 1.</br>
When I divide it by 3, the remainder is 2.</br>
When I divide it by 4, the remainder is 3.</br>
When I divide it by 5, the remainder is 4.</br>

When I divide it by 7, the remainder is 6.</br>
When I divide it by 8, the remainder is 7.</br>
When I divide it by 9, the remainder is 8.</br>
When I divide it by 10, the remainder is 9.

It's not a small number, but it's not really big, either.
</br>
Find the smallest number with such property.

There is an island with 12 islanders. All of the islanders individually weigh exactly the same amount, except for one, who either weighs more or less than the other 11.
</br>
You must use a see-saw to figure out whose weight is different, and you may only use the see-saw 3 times. There are no scales or other weighing device on the island.
</br></br>
How can you find out which islander is the one that has a different weight?
