300 - nothing says the bananas you eat have to come from the stack you are carrying. Right?

Well to move all three hundered you would have to walk 500km carrying 100 at a time, but by the time each box of 100 reached 100 KM you would have eaten them all??? So the answer would be 0

i've got 2 solutions--(dunno if they're right:P) 1st: 200kg there are ways around it of course... it could be 200 but that would depend on playing with the numbers,so i have the second sulution below: 2nd:50kg. carry 100kG bananas to 25km and put down 50kg,then get back to carry 100kg to 25km and put down.therefore it will have 175kg at 25km,and then use this way continually. it will have 100kg on 50km. carriy all of them to 100km. finally you can get 50kg bananas.
