    I don't understand the question. What do you mean you have to answer using the weights?

    I think you mean square = 3.

    But I wonder - if we alter the problem a bit so that each of the six objects must have a different weight between 1 and 9, then these answers would work:

    Triangles = 1, 3, and 4
    Squares = 2 and 6
    Octogan = 8

    or

    Triangles = 1, 3, and 5
    Squares = 2 and 7
    Octogaon = 9

    or

    Triangles = 2, 3, and 4
    Squares = 1 and 8
    Octogaon = 9
