A pretty unique concept, feels like it could be some kind of gambling game. One thing I was curious about was the range of values the weights could be. I was wondering if you could always just add weights to the smaller side until you hit perfect balance with no risk of losing? The balance (pun not intended but not avoided) is a little off, but I got a chuckle from those point numbers. Kudos for making this in replit.

THIS code extract will explain the mass balancing mechanic
the game does involve a bit of skill, stratergy and luck.

adding=randint(1,10)

if Rejects>=1:

else:

print("the mass will be automatically accepted")
