Divide into 3 groups of 4. (Step one, no scale use).
Balance A against B. lets say they weigh the same. (Step 2, one scale use).
Split C into to stacks of 2 and A into to stacks of 2 (step 3, one scale use).
Balance C1 against A1. (Step 4. 2 scale uses).
If they weigh the same it's in C2, which we will say is true.
Divide C2 into A and B, each one coin. (Step 5, 2 scale uses).
Weigh either of those against any other coin besides the other one. (Step 6, 3 scale uses).
If they weigh the same, (A and something else) then B is the odd one. If they are different, A is the odd one.
6 steps, although could be condensed due to wording, and 3 scale uses.
Did you use google?

Nope. I don't even know what I'd put into the search engine! I don't think "riddle with 12 coins 11 are the same one is different answer" would work..

O.O

You are about to be interrogated under torture. The torturer does you a favor: "you can make a final declaration that will determine the manner in which you will die. If your affirmation is false, you will be drawn and quartered. But if it's true, you will be burnt alive!" Not finding either of these alternatives appealing, you seek to make a declaration that will get you out of this dire situation. What should you say?

Also, prizes from my last contest were:
Foil {duskmantle seer}
{soul random}
{notion thief}
{Gemini engine}
And {golgari grave-troll}

Whoever won that one, PM me your address!

Darn! I've heard this type of thing before, but I got it backward.

I will be drawn and quartered.
