Polar Bear Crossing the Arctic
A polar bear rests by a stack of 3000 pounds of fish he has caught. He
plans to travel 1000 miles across the Arctic to bring as many fish as
possible to his family. He can pull a sled that holds up to 1000 pounds of
fish, but he must eat 1 pound of fish at every mile to keep his energy up.
