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.

How much can you carry? I'd be tempted to walk & eat the camel.

I'd be prepared to trade family as well.

Hang on...
So you can't go even 50 miles, cos after you'd turned back for the next lot you'd end up with nothing at the part-way stage.

Can you stick the hay up the camel's bottom & set light to it?
