Ok heres a riddle for you guys:
A donkey needs to transport 1000 apples to a village 1000km away.
If the donkey eats 1 apple for every 1km what is the maximum amount of apples he can bring to the village for the farmer to sell?
(Hint: He can drop off apples on his way and they will not be stolen or rotten)
PS this was the only problem i got right from my first 5 hw assigments in my senior design class
