I thought you were only allowed to use the scale once? How does this work? Do you mean you take one goblet from each apprentice and place it on the scale one at a time and watch as the ounces raise by 100. Then when you find the one goblet that only raises 90 ounces you know who the culprit is? I hate riddles I don't know why I bother trying to understand -_-
