Answer:

Let machine 1 produce 1 ball, machine 2 produce 2 balls, machine 3 produce 3 balls etc.
Lets say that there were no faulty machines, the total weight should come up to: 1x1000g + 2x1000g + 3x1000g + 4x1000g + 5x1000g + 6x1000g + 7x1000g + 8x1000g + 9x1000g + 10x1000g = 55000g (55kg)

So weigh all of the balls together. If for example, the 5th machine was the faulty one, the amount would come up to: 1x1000g + 2x1000g + 3x1000g + 4x1000g + 5x900g + 6x1000g + 7x1000g + 8x1000g + 9x1000g + 10x1000g = 54500g (54.5kg)

So then you take away the amount you got when you weighed them together from the total weight of all the balls if none of them were faulty.
So 55 - 54.5 =0.5. Meaning the 5th machine is the faulty one.
(If the 3rd machine was faulty, the answer you would have got would be 0.3. If it was the 8 machine, the answer would be 0.8 etc.)

Yeh there was a similar riddle to this in my maths class.

When the babysitter and lawyer come home the baby is dead. Who did it?

ok heres one: Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it.

Riddle: A magician, claimed to be able to throw a ping pong ball so that it would go a short distance, come to a complete stop and then reverse itself. He also added that he would not bounce the ball off any object, or tie anything to it.
How could he perform this trick?

Correct

There is a fan blowing the ball back.

I guess this would work aswell, but it isn't the answer to the riddle.

2nd Riddle: The same magician, claims he can tell the score of any football game before it even starts. Many think he is psychic and possesses supernatural powers. How is it that he can tell the score of a game before it even starts?
