Thanks all for your comments, suggestions.

For the curious, I was writing a problem that simulated a human solving
the following problem:

Question.  If you have 200 coins and 199 of them weigh the same amount
and 1 is lighter than the others. Using a two pan balancing scale, 
how can you identify the lighter coin in 5 weighings or less?

Don't get me started on how you could possibly have all of this
information a priori and *not* know which coin was lighter...
