But maybe Marty wants to be shot....the stupid plantation owner won't buy him any mules to help him. Maybe Marty is tired...but Marty doesn't believe in suicide...so maybe he wants to be shot.

Maybe Marty doesn't walk, and therefore doesn't eat any pineapples. Maybe he swims and floats the pineapples along the river with him. Or maybe he rides in a truck. Or a cargo jet. Maybe he rides in a hot air balloon, gets tangled upside down in the ropes and we have pineapple-upside-down-mule cake.

Marty calls Fed Ex, sits and eats 3 or 4 pineapples while waiting for the truck.

2,996 or 2,997 pineapples get delivered.

LOL, Scooter. I thought 3 because I figured he could eat one at the END of every mile. So at the end of mile 1 to the end of mile 999, he would eat one. Then at mile 1,000, he would be at the market and the pineapple could be sold before he ate it. So there would 3 after the third trip.

Did I explain myself sufficiently?

With your reasoning, Herm, I'm going to say one. I think he starved to death on the way back and thus the last 2000 were never moved at all.

Does your brain ache from trying to figure this out?
Do you never want to see a pineapple again?
Do you want to kill Marty the dumb-ass, er...mule with your bare hands?

I prefer monkeys and bananas!

So do I get a gold star of something for getting the right answer (twice, once for if he didn't eat any on the way back, once for if he did )? Surely there's some prize? A subscription to Mule Weekly perhaps?

What I'm wondering is why the heck he made the journey to begin with. If he's only got a handful left to sell at the end of his journey, why not just sit and eat them at home!?

BR, my head started hurting just seeing the title of the thread, lol. I have a severe math phobia.
