18. **Platinum is sold in bars of various weights ranging from 13gms to 593gms, in 4
gram increments. Each bar is sealed in a opaque box weighing 47gms. The box
used for packaging has no markings on it indicating the weight of the bar inside.
The precious metals merchant selling the boxes has put the packed box into shelves
based on the weight. However, to be certain, he weighs the packed box in an equal
arms two pan balance, and a set of weights (which is common for all the box, and
which he considers as standards weights) Each of these weighs an integral no.of
grams and have their weight marked on them. The merchant, superstitious man
always places the packet box of platinum in the left pan, and places the appropriate
weights in the left pan or the right pan or both until the balance is achieved. This
suffices to tell him the weight of the packed bar.
What is the minimum number of standard weights the merchant must have to be
able to accurately determine the weight of the packed boxes.
