jshaver123 0 #1 May 16, 2009 A farmer returns from the market, where he bought a goat, a cabbage and a wolf (what a crazy market :-). On the way home he must cross a river. His boat is small and will only fit him and one of his purchases at a time. He cannot leave the goat alone with the cabbage (because the goat would eat it), nor he can leave the goat alone with the wolf (because the goat would be eaten). And also the water is infested with giant Parana How can the farmer get everything on the other side? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolmarty 0 #4 May 16, 2009 take the goat across 1st, go back and get the cabbage, drop off the cabbage and pick up the goat, then drop off the goat and pick up the wolf, drop wolf with cabbage and go back for the goat and bring him back. I couldn't think with my 13 yr old talking so I had him figure it out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's funny; I'm a huge fan of "House", but when watching the Fry & Laurie skits, it's difficult to remember this is the same guy who plays Dr. House."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
