Comments on: 13 Coins Solution https://www.krunk4ever.com/blog/2005/03/28/917/ After eliminating all other possibilities, the one remaining-no matter how unlikely-must be the truth.

“you have 13 coins. there is 1 counterfeit coin which you just know has a different weight —-> (not sure if it’s heavier or lighter) <—-. you can only use the scale 3x. how do you do it? if you need hints, feel free to im me."
(Emphasis mine)

At the end of this writeup:
"right now, we can only find the counterfeit with 13 coins. with 12 coins, you can find the counterfeit and be able to tell if it’s heavier or lighter"

So we have not solved the original question here, right?
