Initial Problem
You have ten cans of peas. The cans are open. In each can there are 100 peas. In the tenth can, each pea weighs only .9 grams. You do not know which can has the lighter peas, nor is it possible to tell with the naked eye. To help you, you have a electronic scale, however, the scale is not in great shape and you can only use it once to determine the correct measurement. Can you determine which can has the smaller peas?

REMINDER!!
The cans are open....you can take peas out of the cans.
