9 balls. They all have the same shape, color, etc. The only difference is that one of the balls is a little bit heavier than the rest, by so little, that you can't even tell. The rest 8 are equal. You have a classic scales like the ones in the picture. You can only use the scales twice to figure out which ball is heavier. Go ahead.

Weigh 3 v 3 of the balls against each other:
If one side is heavier, weigh two of those balls against each other to again see if one is heavier.
If the original 3v3 balances, weigh two of the remaining 3 balls against each other.
If the scale tips either way in 1v1, you have your ball. If not, you know it is the last ball remaining.

Is this the profile of a bear?? Hmm, I didn't know bears were capable of playing css. Don't they break the keyboard with their massive paws? This is very peculiar and requires further investigation. If this is true, no one knows what kind of risks this might hold. They might electrocute themselves, maybe they become addicted to the game causing them to neglect their parental tasks. What must become of their offspring?
I will select a team consisting of the world's foremost scientists that will go about this scientific quest in the uttermost professional manner. This taskforce will carry the name "CANBURZREALLYPLAYCOUWNTERTRIKE - HUHWHUT????". I trust upon these men a task of huge importance, the fate of bearkind may depend on it. Godspeed men, Godspeed!
