davywavyYou are an Egyptian trader with 10,000 lb of hay in Cairo that you have to get to Damascus, 1,000 miles away.
Your only transport is a camel that will not move unless fed with hay, which it eats at a rate of 1lb per mile.
What is the greatest amount of hay you can get to Damascus?
Explain your answers, and a prize for anyone who gets a higher (justifiable) answer than I did :)
