Ok with all the silence I will give the answer
You take one weight from bag one, two from bag two, thre from bag three etc.
You then weigh all of these together you remove from the bags at once, and the answer is however many ounces you are over the total it should be (I am not working it out) that is the bag that has the 17 ounce weights.
For example if it was bag four you would be four ounces over because you had 4 of the weights that were 1 oz extra.

And now for the extra pound –
There are ten bags, each containing ten weights, all of which look identical. In nine of the bags each weight is 16 ounces, but in one of the bags the weights are actually 17 ounces each. How is it possible, in a single weighing on an accurate weighing scale, to determine which bag contains the 17-ounce weights?
