Ok, three guys leave, each carrying 4 days worth. After one day of travelling, one gives one day of food to each person, and keeps one day for hisself and travels back to the caravan. The remaining two each travel one more day. One gives one day of food to the other and turns back as well. This gives one person enough food to finish the journey and allows enough food for the other guy to come back to the caravan.
I have not heard this one like this before. I have heard ones similiar to it where the people have to work together to get the job done.
