They wish to explore the interior, always going due west. Each car can travel forty miles on the contents of the engine tank, which holds a gallon of fuel, and each can carry nine extra gallon cans of fuel and no more. Unopened cans can alone be transferred from car to car. What is the greatest distance at which they can enter the desert without making any depots of fuel for the return journey?<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<strong>Videos<\/strong><br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/m000crbl\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #007C89;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Hidden Power of Maths<\/strong><\/a><br>\nThe Spring Term is usually an \u201ciffy\u201d term when there are wet \u201cbreaks\u201d and this series of Royal Institution Christmas lectures is ideal to show this series.
