Take one block from vault 1.
Take two blocks from vault 2.
Take three blocks from vault 3.
...
Take seven blocks from vault 7.
Given the offset of the weight, you can determine which vaults contained the fakes.

| Try reading one of the other threaads about this problem. You'll realize that your method won't work, because there are three, not one, looted vaults. If they're 2,3 and 7, you'd get the same result as if they were 1,5 and 6. |
