The diagram of the Quadruple donkey transfer reminds me of the fueling diagram for the Black Buck raids during the Falklands War

That's actually shockingly similar. I'm sure someone has studied the mathematics of fuel transport in much greater detail -- I wonder if it's a simple problem to optimize or something closer to the traveling salesman problem

pretty sure it's a very simple problem, brutally simple even.
