the pow is the follow:
Pow 13 - Corey Camel
Consider the case of Corey Camel - the enterprising but eccentric owner of a small banana grove in a remote desert oasis. Corey's harvest, which is worth its weight in gold, consists of 4000 bananas. The marketplace where the harvest can be sold is 1000 miles away. However, Corey must walk to the market, and she can carry at most 1000 bananas at a time. Furthermore, being a camel, Corey eats one banana during each and every mile she walks (so Corey can never walk anywhere without bananas).
The question is this:
How many bananas can Corey get to the market?
