i got this from the French Maths newsgroup.
==================================================================
A banana merchant has 3000 bananas to sell.  He has to render 
himself at the market situated 1000 km away with his elephant, 
which cannnot transport more than 1000 bananas on each trip.  
The elephant eats 1 banana per km, how many bananas can the 
merchant sell?
PS: The answer is not zero.
==================================================================

i'll let you guys have a go at it.

[i know, there is plenty of room for humorous remarks on this one.
and please don't "cheat" by going over to the French newsgroup to 
peep at the answer.]

:-)
