Right Answer:
Weigh 3 apples against 3 apples. If they balance, the lighter apple is among the remaining 3. If they don't balance, take the lighter group of 3 and weigh 1 apple against 1 apple. If they balance, the lighter apple is the one not weighed. If they don't balance, the lighter side has the lighter apple.
