Abstract

An electronic logic game comprising a device for simulating a balance scale in its balanced state or either of its unbalanced states, a plurality of simulated playing pieces one of which is simulated to be heavier or lighter than the others and selected ones of which may be symbolically placed on said simulated balance scale, and a device coupled to said simulated balance scale for detecting the presence or absence of the simulated heavier or lighter playing piece and simulating the scale to be balanced or unbalanced in a predetermined direction according to the presence or absence of the piece whereby the heavier or lighter piece may be logically discovered in a predetermined number of electronic scale balance or unbalance representations.

Claims8

Dependent claims

An electronic logic game comprising:

a. a simulated electronic balance scale,
b. a plurality of units to be symbolically weighed, one of which units differs from the others electronically by including a first magnet to represent said unit being lighter than the other units or first and second magnets to represent said unit being heavier than the other units and selected ones of which units may be symbolically positioned on said simulated balance scale,
c. means associated with said simulated balance scale for detecting said different unit when symbolically positioned on said simulated balance scale, and
d. circuit means coupled to said detecting means for representing said scale to be balanced or unbalanced in a predetermined direction according to said state of said different unit whereby said different unit may be logically discovered in a predetermined number of said electronic scale balance or unbalance representations.
