Each of $10$ identical jars contains some milk, up to $10$ percent of its capacity. At any time, we can tell the precise amount of milk in each jar. In a move, we may pour out an exact amount of milk from one jar into each of the other $9$ jars, the same amount in each case. Prove that we can have the same amount of milk in each jar after at most $10$ moves.
