OK you have a fox, a chicken and a bushel of corn. you live on a small island but you want to move to another island. you only have a small boat as means of travel. you must escort these three to the other island but not together; because the chicken will eat the corn and the fox will eat the chicken. so, how do you do it? :biglaugh:

Leave the fox and the corn on the shore and take the chicken to the island. Go back and get the fox take him to the island. Pick up the chicken and take him back to shore. Leave the chicken and pick up the corn. Take the corn to the island and leave there with the fox. Go back and get the chicken.

Too complicated, althought, prolly what I would have done at first.  lol.  How about just move the fox, then the corn, then the chicken?

MelodyB

Cause you cant leave the corn and the chicken alone on the shore while you take the fox.
