This is a repost because no one figured it out the first time around and I will not divulge the answer until someone can come up with the correct answer.
You live in city A and you have 3000 bananas and you need to get as many of those bananas as you can to city B which is 1000 miles away. The only way to transfer them is to use a camel that eats one banana every mile it walks and it can only carry a maximum of 1000 bananas. So if you feed the camel 1 banana it will be able to walk 1 mile.
What is the maximum number of bananas you can get to city B?
Sorry Drew but I just think it's too good of a riddle just to give out the answer.
No right answers yet, and there is a way to get more than zero bananas to city B, just gotta think outside the box
starryeyed is the closest one so far but is way off. You can only use the camel to travel, you can not walk any where.
As another hint, there is a reason why there are 3000 bananas, not any more or any less.
Answer: 533.
Congrats, I actually had a similar way of doing it but only getting 500 bananas to city B so you figured out a way to get more.
