You are trying to get to Orlando, which is 800 miles away. You have 2500 apples, and you drive a truck which can hold a thousand at a time. You have unlimited gas, can take as many trips as you'd like, and if you want, you can store apples anywhere on the side of the road and pick them up later. The kicker is- one apple falls out and disappears forever for every mile you drive on the truck How many apples can you transport? Do it in your head- no paper or pencil
