2 Answer:
3     Split the 9 balls into three groups of 3 balls.
4     Choose two groups and weigh them on the balance:
5         If balanced, the heavy ball is in the other group.
6         If imbalanced, the heavy ball is in the heavier group.
7     Find the group with the heavy ball, pick two balls from the three and weigh them:
8         If balanced, the heavy ball is the other one.
9         If imbalanced, the heavy ball is the heavier one.
