Eggs in a basket?!


Question: You have 10 baskets, each containing 10 eggs. The eggs in each basket weigh 10 g each, thus each basket is 100g. However there is 1 basket whose eggs weigh 9 g each, thus this 1 basket weighs 90g. How would you determine which is the basket with the 9g eggs if you have a weighing machine which you can only use once.

ok, take one egg out of the first basket, 2 out of the second, etc. when youre done, weigh all those eggs.... if the answer ends in 9 its the first basket, 8 its the second, 7 the third, etc....
