Puzzle # 13

You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?

bahed121 11 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 8 · 2011-05-16T12:06:37+00:00

answer is Take the chicken over first. Go back and bring the grain next, but instead of leaving the chicken with the grain, come back with the chicken. Leave the chicken on the first side and take the fox with you. Leave it on the other side with the grain. Finally, go back over and get the chicken and bring it over.

Yes, but unlike walking or biking, a car doesn't actually need you. That's why it's called an automobile?

Okay, but without his hand movement it's hard to make the car move.

Puzzle #21

Parents with two children - a son and a daughter - came to a wide river. There was no bridge there. The only way to get to the other side was to ask a fisherman if he could lend them his boat. However, the boat could carry only one adult or two children. How does the family get to the other side and return the boat to the fisherman?

twiss 155 Veteran Poster · Answer 30 · 2011-05-20T11:57:01+00:00

That's easy: children across, one back, parent across, child back, children across, child back, parent across, child back, children across.
