The antidrugs squad can't break open a few bags of flour to find cocaine that they know is in there? For a supposed logic puzzle, that's one of the least logical things I've ever heard.

Are you sure it is only 2 times and not 3 times? If it is three, the answer is:

Weight bags 1-6 against bags 7 -12. If they match then it is in one of bags 13-16. Weigh 13-14 against 15-16, and then either 13 against 14 or 15 against 16 depending which was heavier.

If 1-6 against 7-12 does not balance, assume that it is 1-6 that is heavier. Weight 1-3 and against 4-6. Assume that it is 1-3 that is heavier. Weigh 1 against 2. If they balance, it is 3, if they don't. it is whichever is heavier.

If you can do it in 2 weighings. let me know!

First you weigh bags 1-3 against 4-6 if they are even you weigh 7 against 8 if they are even the 9:th is the one with an extra kg. Likewise if 1-3 is heavier then 4-6 you weig 1 against 2 if hte aren't even you got it

So two times

three bags against three bags then one against one
