perplexus.info :: Weights and Scales : Nine Marbles

Nine Marbles (Posted on 2014-09-20)

Three friends Ade, Ben and Cade have 9 marbles in front of them. Their weights are as follows:
154, 16, 19, 101, 10, 17, 13, 46 and 22 grams.

Each of the three friends takes 3 marbles. Ade's bunch weighs precisely twice as much as Bill's bunch.

What is the total weight in Cade's bunch?
