Once upon a time, there was a poor Farmer. He had a tiny boat. The boat was so tiny that it could only take the Farmer himself and one additional passenger. Farmer wanted to move a Wolf, a Goat and a Cabbage across a river with his tiny boat.
When the Farmer is with them, everyone is safe. The Wolf will not eat the Goat, the Goat will not eat the Cabbage.
But farmer can’t leave the Wolf alone with the Goat because the Wolf will eat the Goat. He can’t leave the Goat alone with the Cabbage because this time the Goat will eat the Cabbage.
And of course he can only fit one more object with him on the boat (either the Wolf, the Goat or the Cabbage).
The question is: How can farmer transport the three of them to the other side of the river safely?
ANSWER
- First take goat and cross the river
- Turn back alone and take wolf and cross the river
- Turn back with goat and and take cabbage and cross the river
- Finally turn back alone to take goat again to cross the river
