There is an island with 12 islanders. All of the islanders individually weigh exactly the same amount, except for one, who either weighs more or less than the other 11.

You must use a see-saw to figure out whose weight is different, and you may only use the see-saw 3 times. There are no scales or other weighing device on the island.

How can you find out which islander is the one that has a different weight?

#108
You pick them up until one of them feels heavier or lighter

I misread the part about the seesaw.  Also, how are we defining a "Use"?  Because what I'd do is put everyone on the see-saw, six to a side, and have them get off two-by-two (one for each side) until both sides weigh the same.  This is, arguably, a single use. 

Once both sides weigh the same, the remaining islanders get off and the two who got off before the sides evened out get back on.  That's the second use.

Since neither of them weigh the same as the other, you take one off the select any of the other ten to replace them.  It doesn't especially matter if this is the third use or not.  Either both these islanders weigh the same, in which case the one you removed is the odd one out, or they both weigh differently, in which case its the one you didn't replace.

*Replaces the win with a bag of sand, aproximately the same weight, and runs off down the hall, setting off booby traps the whole way...*

Avernale

[Intercepts Butterflyfang at the entrance with group of armed aboriginals and confiscates the win]

Dr. Butterflyfang. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away.

FroreQueen

The one taking away the win is the rightful owner. Me of course. *Saunters away with the Win.*

Stealing is just not nice!
