i got it.... separate into 4 group 3(a)3(b)3(c)3(d), weight 2 of them(a,b), if it is the same, weigh b and c, if they are the same too... then the different ball must be in group d. if you weight different, you identify that group according to the different group. Also, we know the the different ball is heavier or lighter.
