Xmas at the Rideouts

The kids needs to split a communal gift of jelly beans.
At first they start to count it out, then Sebastien says "Let's use the mass gram weighy thing!"
Isabelle: "You mean the SCALE?"

Here they are carefully weighing out one jelly bean:


After divvying up the candy, Isabelle says the count does not look equal but Sebastien says "We did it by weight, but the individual beans might not be the same so it's okay if the count is not the same."

Next year, I expect them to mass 10 random beans and take the median value for their calculations...
