Problem Statement
A loader has a waggon and a little cart. The waggon can carry up to 1000 kg, and the cart can carry only up to 1 kg. A finite number of sacks with sand lie in a storehouse. It is known that their total weight is more than 1001 kg, while each sack weighs not more than 1 kg. What maximum weight of sand can the loader carry in the waggon and the cart, regardless of particular weights of sacks?
