Answer: 833 apples. Step one: First you want to make 3 trips of 1,000 apples 333 miles. You will be left with 2,001 apples and 667 miles to go. Step two: Next you want to take 2 trips of 1,000 apples 500 miles. You will be left with 1,000 apples and 167 miles to go (you have to leave an apple behind). Step three: Finally, you travel the last 167 miles with one load of 1,000 apples and are left with 833 apples in Bananaville. :D

“Figures it’s be something like that… Oh well, I don’t mind giving out a hug.”

You have been given the task of transporting 3,000 apples 1,000 miles from Appleland to Bananaville. Your truck can carry 1,000 apples at a time. Every time you travel a mile towards Bananaville you must pay a tax of 1 apple but you pay nothing when going in the other direction (towards Appleland). What is highest number of apples you can get to Bananaville?: Command: Kaitou Kid, go give Kai a hug, there, diff.

“I almost feel like this is a trick question. I mean… Carry 1,000 apples 1,000 miles and have to give one up each mile… What would be the point in even trying to take them there? No wonder it’s called Bananaville. They couldn’t get any apples there at all, unless someone invested in a bigger truck.”

A smart landscaper is given the task of placing 4 trees so that they are all the same distant away from each other. [How does he place them?] Command: Go introduce yourself to Kai, Kaitou KID.

“This… feels a lot like math, when I was thinking about it. Obviously, a square wouldn’t work, since diagonals are longer, but… if you put three equal distances from each other, and put another in the center, either higher or lower than the other’s level, then the distance created from the difference can be the same. Definitely have to think in three dimensions, in any case.

…Why are you trying so hard to get me to introduce myself, anyway?”
