In city A on desert, there is a guy with his camel and 1000 watermelons. He wants to sell the watermelons in city B where a fair takes place. The distance between A and B is 99km.
However, the camel can only carry a maximum of 100 watermelons at a time. In addition to that, the camel eats one watermelon per each kilometer it travels.
The guy wants to bring to the fair as many watermelons as possible. How can he do it? And what is the maximum number?
Hint:
What if the distance was just 1km? What if it was 2? What if it was 5?
