    You have 9 nine balls; 8 real and one imaginary. Do the nine-ball thing as normal; just make sure not to put the imaginary ball on the scales! 🙄

    Things might go wrong if you use it in place of a real one; after all, the imaginary ball would weigh considerably less than a real one!

    but then again isnt that a rach judgement considereing the weight of the balls is not specified and therefore it could be a helium balloon that as maths teachers say "is on the point of moving" and therefore a real ball and an imaginary ball would way the same😀 or am i just being difficult🙄

    Weigh three balls per side. If it balances, weigh the other two. If it doesn't, weigh two out of the three from the heavier side.
