1 Ball is heavier of of 8 balls, can you find which one?

You have 8 balls all of the same size. 7 of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. 
 
How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighing?


Answer:-

Divide the balls into the following groups: (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8)
Step 1.
Weigh (1,2,3) against (4,5,6)
Two possible outcomes:
The two groups are equally heavy. (Case A)
One of these groups is heavier than the other. (Case B)
Case A
Weigh 7 against 8.  Now you have identified the heavier ball in 2 weighing.

Case B
Take the heavier group (assume it to be (1,2,3)), take any two balls and weigh them against each other. Either one of these is heavier else the third ball is.
