Description
Happily, Sally has a friend who loans her a very accurate balance scale. The friend will permit Sally three weighings to find the counterfeit coin. For instance, if Sally weighs two coins against each other and the scales balance then she knows these two coins are true. Now if Sally weighs
one of the true coins against a third coin and the scales do not balance then Sally knows the third coin is counterfeit and she can tell whether it is light or heavy depending on whether the balance on which it is placed goes up or down, respectively.
By choosing her weighings carefully, Sally is able to ensure that she will find the counterfeit coin with exactly three weighings.

思路:注意最后一句话The solution will always be uniquely determined.
我们很难去找出唯一一个不知道轻还是重的那个假钱,但是因为答案是唯一的,所以我们可以利用3次称重,确定出所有的真钱。
如果是even,代表两边的钱全是真的。
如果是up或down,代表两边没出现的钱全是真的。
我们还可以发现,如果在一次称重中,一个钱被认为是重,如果下面的称量,它就不可能称出轻,如果称出来了,代表它一定是真钱。轻也一样,下面如果称出重就是真钱。
开3个数组,int True[15]={0},heavy[15]={0},light[15]={0};记录真钱和它是重还是轻,矛盾的时候加入真钱的数组。
因为只有一个假钱,最终遍历一边真钱数组,肯定能找到假的。
