RIVER CROSSING PUZZLE - 3

SHE-GOAT, WOLF AND CABBAGE

A farmer returns from the market, where he bought a she-goat, a cabbage and a wolf (what a crazy market :-). On the way home he must cross a river. His boat is small and won't fit more than one of his purchases. He cannot leave the she-goat alone with the cabbage (because the she-goat would eat it), nor he can leave the she-goat alone with the wolf (because the she-goat would be eaten).



How can the farmer get everything on the other side in this river crossing puzzle?

Solution:

Take the she-goat to the other side.

Go back, take cabbage, unload it on the other side where you load the she-goat, go back and unload it.

Take the wolf to the other side where you unload it. Go back for the she-goat.

That's it.
