"for each kilometer u walk{in either direction}, one melon must be eaten." It doesn't say along the way :) The way the question is worded…..you can eat 30 melons before you leave, make it to the market and back with a profit of being able to sell 15 melons.

Then you sell all 45 melons and don't eat any and make more money then if you transport them yourself, ate on the way, and was only able to sell 3-4 each trip.

Now you have 9 km left with 15 melons. eat 9 on the way to the market. You arrive with 6 melons. They better be worth a lot of f'ing money to be worth all the trouble! grab 15 melons, walk 6 km and drop off 3 melons and walk back. that is a total of 15 melons(eat 6 on way, drop 3, eat 6 on way back) grab another 15 and repeat. grab the last 15 and walk 6 km(eat 6 on way) and pick up the 6 you previously left there.
