Imbalance Problems

These puzzles are made of squares, triangles, and circles suspended by bars and wires from a center fulcrum. We can tell that the shapes don’t weigh the same when both sides don’t balance – but can you order them from heaviest to lightest just by looking at each puzzle? Use the pictures as your clues and try these fun brainteasers!
