You can divide the 9 gold coins in 3 groups (Group A, B & C), 3 in each group. 1st Round: Put the 3 coins of Group A on the left side and 3 coins of Group B on the right side of the balance. If they are in balancing position, the one lighter would be in Group C. 2nd Round: Then, put 2 coins of Group C on the balance. If they are in balancing position, the lighter one would be the remaining one. Otherwise, you can find which one is lighter from the balance. If it is found in 1st Round that either Group A or Group B is lighter, you can just do the 2nd Round checking from the lighter Group as mentioned above and find which coin is lighter.
