Go 10 miles in, dump the 980 cuz he ate 10 and takes 10 for the trip back, then picks up another 1000, takes them 10 miles in, dump that 980 left, taking another 10 for the trip back, so he has 1960 dumped 10 miles in, and goes back again taking 10 with him, p/up the last 1000, eat 10 back, dump that 990 which makes 2950 bananas 10 miles in. Which means he has 900 miles to go. So, he can only pick up 1000bananas, so at this rate, it would be cheaper and faster to call Fed Ex because it absolutely has to be there by 10:30 the next morning.<BR/>Why you do this, milly?karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203594257221430139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-369702031415553842008-09-19T15:08:00.000-07:002008-09-19T15:08:00.000-07:00He'll get across the desert once, having eaten all...He'll get across the desert once, having eaten all the bananas, but he won't have any food to get back across the desert to fetch any more. Personally I think he should sub-contract to a non-banana=eating animal (like a normal camel)Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982043538182690871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-33446133044868071702008-09-19T10:03:00.000-07:002008-09-19T10:03:00.000-07:00Zero.Zero.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-23906060976912803052008-09-19T10:01:00.000-07:002008-09-19T10:01:00.000-07:001000 with a muzzle. :)1000 with a muzzle. :)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638784910676212171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-56410124727925360532008-09-19T09:47:00.000-07:002008-09-19T09:47:00.000-07:00Take 1,000 bananas 9/10 mile.

Two round trips one single trip. leaves you 600 miles from destination, with 1,000 bananas, all you can carry, you arrive with 400 bananas with none wasted.<BR/><BR/>I think that is the best I can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
