Round 1 of 10

Which side will go down? Look at the numbers, guess, then watch the scale.

?72

Left pan: toy block 7. Right pan: rock 2.

Which side will go down? Press 1, 2 or 3, or the arrow keys.

Keys: 1 or Left arrow, 2 or Right arrow, 3 for balance.

How to play

  1. Heavier goes down. The scale tips towards the side with more weight, and the bigger the difference, the more it tips.
  2. Level means equal. Tap or drag number blocks onto a pan. Tap a block on the pan to take it off.
  3. Five ways to play. Guess the heavier side, make it balance, find the missing number, weigh mystery objects or just play freely.
7 + 5 weighs the same as 12, so the scale stays level.
