				You know, at dinner they were technically eating meatloaf.

I must confess, I've never had meatloaf.  Although I did quite like his duet with Cher.
And you can't pick up all the bags to guess which is heaviest?

				Meaning you can only take one measurement. So it shows the measurement for a moment, then shuts off.
You should only need to make one measurement to figure out which bag has the 1.001g marbles.
@jooly, I don't know about you, but I can't  pick up a bag and tell if there's a 0.1g difference in mass

				and all the bags and marbles look the same etc?  And you don't have a handy plank to race marbles down?

				Ah, so you can take the empty bag, put all the other bags in a row and take one marble from the first, two from the second etc.  
Then weigh the bag - the number after the decimal point will tell you which bag contains the heavier marbles.

				An easy one - take six matchsticks:  I I I I I I I
Can you make four equilateral triangles with them, given that they may not intersect with each other and must be placed end to end?

				It was an easy one - I don't know many logic problems.
So, Kisa?
