The Problem

There are 10 piles of coins. Each pile has 10 coins. One pile contains counterfeit coins that weigh 9 grams each; the other piles contain genuine coins that weigh 10 grams each. You have a digital scale (not a balance).

Using only ONE weighing, identify which pile has the counterfeits.
