Okay, sure, but that seems like the problem is "solved" (i.e. the donkey ends up eating hay instead of starving).
It can also use the "always eat the left bale first" strategy, although that gets kind of odd if it does it with a bale of size zero.
There is a problem if you want to make it make an actual binary decision, like go to one bale and stay.
