Excellent! And now I have sold a sibling I have a fleet on camels.
*considers what sidelines she can dabble in to make this hay trading thing a bit more profitable, and contemplates whether shifting hay across continents is really the best way to earn a living*
I thought there would be a simple non-maths solution. I wondered if it might be
a) You don't need the camel you're on a river, but Damascus is landlocked from what I can tell
b) Why take hay from Cairo to Damascus when Damascus has tons of it already but I have no idea what the agricultural situation in the middle east is like.
I'm sure it can't be as mathmatical as it seems tho
In that case I've think I have the basic theory for the solution worked out, however the actual solution itself I don't have the brain power to work out right now, as I'm busy braingrinding a load of highly interesting memory maps.
