    2 weighings and 3^n balls can be solved with n weighings.

    For lightness in weight, if you're lucky, you'll just need one weighing. Put three on each scale, and the seventh might be the odd one out.

    Gotta be more precise, Frank.
    What do you mean by lighter? In color or brightness or weight?
    WDYM by least required? Possibly, or in every case?

    3 balls weighed against 3
    if both are equal, the remaining is the lighter ball
    else choose the lighter side 3 balls
    check for 1 ball against 1 ball
    if equal, the third ball is lightest
    if not the lighter side is the lightest ball
    So 2 tries at max
