Want to know if you are a Pépite?

Welcome to The Pépite Game

You are given 12 coins, 1 one which is fake, and a twin-pan balance.

You don't know if the fake coin is heavier or lighter than the others.

The game is simple:

Elaborate a strategy to determine which one of the 12 coins is fake, and if it is lighter or heavier.

Beware, as you can use this balance 3 times at most. If you try to use it more than 3 times, the game ends, and you burn in hell also.

Solve this problem by

- Cloning this repo
- Implementing the `perform` method in the file `my_strategy.rb`

Some more instructions are given in this file if you are lost.

When you think you got it solved, run ruby am_i__a_pepite.rb in your terminal to see the result of your efforts.

Good luck, and remember:

Do not ever use the balance more than 3 times, or chaos will ensue
Take a pick at the 'secret' directory and you'll be burnt to ashes in a glimpse. I wouldn't do that if I were you.

To use the balance in your code:

Call Measure.new(left_side_coins, right_side_coins).measure with your left_side_coins and right_side_coins (arrays of coins, sub-arrays of the coins input).

The result will be one of the following: :left, :right, or :middle

- `:left` if the left side is heavier than the right side
- `:right` if the right side is heavier than the left side
- `:middle` if the left side and the right side of the balance are

For additional points, document your code, and explain why your strategy is better than everybody else's.

Have fun.
