How would you get yourself, a fox, a chicken and a bag of grain across a river. Your boat is only large enough to carry you and one of the others at any one crossing. Yet, if leave you leave he fox alone with the chicken, he will devour it. And shouldn't leave the chicken alone with the grain as the grain will be eaten. How can they all be taken safely across without any unwanted lunch stops during the process?

Take the chicken first, then go back and take the fox, but when you drop off the fox, take the chicken back. When you reach the other side, take the grain, but leave the chicken. Finally head back and pick up the chicken cause the fox won't eat the grain. Or you could study hard at school and earn enough money to buy a bigger boat. :-)
ReplyDeleteUse the grain to buy another chicken for the fox. Keep the bag and put the chicken inside the bag but leave the other chicken that you got so the fox can eat the chicken that is out of the bag. by Ellie Fraser Marriott
ReplyDeleteYou can get a job on the side you are on . Save up all your pay and buy a massive boat that can fit every thing on it or take the grain over first . then take the fox over . Go back get the chicken and take it over to the other side of the river
