Captain Peralta
S02E18 Episode aired 8 March 2015
- First appearance of Jake's dad.
- The "tribute air"airplane that Jake's dad is flying is actually an Emirates 777
- There are multiple ways to solve the riddle given by Captain Holt. One possible solution goes as follows: You divide the 12 people up into three groups of four people each. You weigh two groups against each other. Then you mix the groups up, weigh again and repeat that one more time. It is important that you don't mix the groups up at random, but carefully in a specific way, so that no two people repeat the same pattern of being weighed. For example, Person A gets weighed on the left side of the scale first, then right, then not weighed at all, and ONLY Person A has that pattern. Then, depending on how and when the scale tipped, you can determine, which person is lighter or heavier. In the example above, if the scale first tips left, then right and finally is even, you know that Person A is heavier than the rest.
- The riddle given by Holt: "There are twelve men on an island, eleven weigh exactly the same amount, but one of them is slightly lighter or heavier, you must figure out which. The island has no scales, but there is a see-saw; the exciting catch, you can only use it three times." No answer is given.
