Nope, keep trying.
If by scale you mean “Numeric Scale”. And I believe you do, since 0.1g difference will not show on comparative scales.
I will put 1 pill from bottle 1, 2 pills from bottle 2, 3 pills from bottle 3, and 4 pills from bottle 4.
The decimal number shown on the scale will give me the number of the poisoned bottle.
You nailed it, Rool.
You’re today’s winner.
