There is a desert which is 1000 miles across. There is a camel who can carry 1000 bananas maximum. The camel eats 1 banana per mile travelled. The camel has a total of 3000 bananas to begin with. What is the maximum number of bananas that the camel can get across to the other side uneaten?
My camels don't understand/can't eat fractional bananas.
Why are bananas quantized in the presense of camels? Is this a quantum-computing thing?
Are we stipulating that the camel will travel in a straight line? Or will it meander a bit, following the path of least resistanct through the dunes?
If the camel is going to meander, following some perceived "path of least resistence", then could it's back and forths be used as a source of entropy? -- petro@playboy.com----for work related issues.
