Answers:
Separate the 8 balls into 3 piles: two piles of 3 balls and one pile of 2 balls!.
Use the scale to compare the two piles of 3 balls!. If the heavier ball is in one of the piles of three, then you can use the scale to compare two of the three!. You will either have the heavier ball or the ball not measured is the heavier!.
If the ball isn't in one of the piles of 3 weighed, then it's in the pile of two and you can use the scale to compare those!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

First only place three balls to each side of the balance!. setting two aside!.
If they balance, remove them and place the the two remaining balls on the scale to be weighed and there you have it!.
second option ; of the first six balls placed on the balance one side out weighs the other!.
then:Taking the lite set off the scale and adding them to the two you had set aside you now have 5 evenly weighted balls!.
mark the three remaining heavy balls with say a thumb print versus the evenly weighted balls without a thumb print!.
Taking 1 evenly weighted balls place them on each side of the scale with one from the heaver set with a thumb print if they balance the remaining unweighted ball is the heavy ball!. if they do not balance then the heaver ball with the thumb print is the heavy ball!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

you put four on one side and four on the other side with one turn then which ever is more heavy you take those four and put two on each side which ever one goes down then take those two and weigh them by hand!.Probably not the exact right answer but it would work!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
i dunno mabye weigh 4 on one side 4on the other !? and then which evr side is heavier you put half of it on one side then you have a 50/50 chance of the heavier one!? lol srryWww@Enter-QA@Com
That's a damn good question, I didnt know it was possible without weighing them at least 3 times by a process of elimination!.
