A Weight Puzzle

A logical mind bender

This logic puzzle will test your reasoning skills. It requires no formal math knowledge to understand, but takes some serious thought! I personally thing that this one is more complicated than previous puzzles like this I have posted.

We have four different shapes: a square, a circle, a triangle, and a star. Each shape has a different weight, which is always the same. The following sets of shapes balance each other out.

Pay no attention to the distance each shape is from the center, just what side they are on.

How many triangles are required to balance out a single circle?

The solution is below. Take your time to solve this one! If you peek early, you hurt no one but yourself. Once you look, the problem is gone forever.

If you get stuck, try balancing out different combinations of shapes and see what you can come up with!
