# Mathematical Problem

We have $n{}$ coins, one of which is fake, which differs in weight from the real ones and a two-pan scale which works correctly if the weights on the pans are different, but can show any outcome if the weights on the pans are equal. For what $n{}$ can we determine which coin is fake and whether it is lighter or heavier than the real coins, in at most $k{}$ weightings?

## Instructions

Solve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`.

**Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process.

### Guidelines

- Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression
- Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed)
- Be precise and clear in your answer
- The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for

### Example

If the problem asks "What is 2 + 2?", your answer file should contain:

```
4
```

Your answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system.
