Cleopatra ("Cleo") the Camel works for the owner of a small, remote banana plantation. This year's harvest consists of three thousand bananas. Cleo can carry up to one thousand bananas at a time. The market place where the bananas are sold is one thousand miles away. Unfortunately, Cleo eats one banana each and every mile she walks.
Your Task:
Of the three thousand bananas harvested, what is the largest number of bananas Cleo can get to market?
and the answer is not 0 or 3. She can stop and drop of bananas and get more, but she even has to eat a banana for those miles she walked back.
