8 eggs were identical except one is lighter. How many times we have to weight to find out to find out the lighter.( ans 3..).But explain steps for hw to cme answer

• Ans is 2.
  
  Put 3 eggs on each pan.
  lighter pan is having odd/lighter egg.
  If both pans are equal, one of balance 2 eggs is lighter.
  
  From lighter lot, put one egg in each pan.
  Lighter one is odd one.
  If pans are equal , third one is odd and lighter than others.
