Another requirment could be added, that is to indicate if the item that is
different is lighter or heavier than the others. I think (not sure) that this
would actually change the number of usages of the balance.
Sorry if this caused trouble to you out there in puzzle land.

With 12 objects it doesn't change the answer, with 13 it does!
