If I give you a dollar bill can you give me exact change for that dollar bill in exactly 50 coins?

It can be done 2 ways!
Let's see who gets both ways first?

    Hey, no fair, shoff14. Asked and answered.

    But since you ask again, I'll guess a half dollar, a quarter, two dimes, and six pennies.

    Thats pretty good but here's one my barber told me. What two coins added together produce a total of 30 cents. And one is not a nickel.

    Man that was fast jsergovic. I expected that to give people more trouble than that. You must have heard that one before.

    The distance between Cairo and Damascus is 1000 miles. Your mission is to move a 10,000 kilograms load of grass from Cairo to Damascus using your camel, but you have two problems:

    The camel won't budge unless you let it to continuously chew grass - it consumes 1 kilogram of grass per mile. The camel's maximum load is 1000 kilograms.?

    Can you manage to get ANY of the grass to Damascus?
    What is the maximum amount of grass that you can get there?

    An Israeli armored brigade consists of two armored battalions and one infantry battalion, while an infantry brigade consists of two infantry battalions and one armored battalion. An armored battalion consists of two armored squadrons and one infantry squadron, and an infantry battalion consists of two infantry squadrons and one that is armored.

    It keeps on this way through squadrons, platoons, squads, until finally, an armored squad consists of two armory soldiers and one infantry soldier, and an infantry squad ... you know already.

    How many soldiers should be retrained, in order to transform an infantry brigade into an armored brigade?

    I had it figured out by moving loads part way and returning for more (e.g., stockpiling along the road) but as I was about to enter Damascus with a full 1000 Kg. load of grass, my camel was destroyed by a roadside bomb.
