There are four weights. One of them is large and heavy, the second is smaller and lighter, the third is even smaller and lighter, and the fourth is the smallest and lightest. The weights are placed on the scales in turn (each time any of the weights is taken and placed on any cup of the scales). Is it possible, not knowing the exact weight of the weights, to put them all on the scales one by one in such an order that first three times the left cup is outweighed, and the last time the right one?
