You have 8 balls. All of them weigh the exact same, except for 1 which is JUST slightly lighter than the other.

You also have a traditional balance scale. Except, you are only allowed to use it to make 2 measurements. Can you determine which is the lighter ball?

(Friend was asked this on a business interview. Glad I am a pilot!)
