100 monkeys have together 1600 bananas. Show that at least four monkeys have the same number of bananas.

Obviously, we are not considering fractional bananas, negative bananas, or imaginary bananas, any of which would allow each monkey a different number of bananas.

By the way, I had half a banana in my cereal this morning.  The milk was whole.
