JR and Dan - now that's entertainment!

Here's my contribution
There are 1000 rooms with thousands of solid gold coins in them. Each coin weighs 16 ounces, except in one of the rooms all the coins weigh only 15 ounces. Using a scale, WITH ONE WEIGHING ONLY, can you tell me which room contains the coins weighing 15 ounces? You can take any amount of coins from any of the rooms but you can only do ONE weighing.

OK math wizzes - tell me if this can be done and HOW you would do it.
