GOING BANANAS!
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?
I did this problem in 8th grade and already know the answer. The first person to get the answer right wins. Simple.

The answer is not 0 and she can stop and leave bananas and get more and add on to what she left.
