I'd like to tease the minds of you guys out there. here comes the mind teaser.
you have the following items to cross a an over flooded river.
a goat, a bucket of corn and a tiger. these three items may not have any relationship and may not see eye to eye with one another.
how can you cross the river with them without any of them getting hurt?
I give three pionts for answer with reasons.
two points for answer without reasons.
set, goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I have done this a long time ago when I was a kid. There is a sequence to the solution and I don't think I remembered the sequence anymore. I hope that someone would figure that out soon. I will try and see if I can remember how to do this or not.

IN this mind teaser, you also need to be sure to state that the tiger cannot be left alone with the goat, or the goat will become "tiger food." Also, the goat cannot be left with the corn, or the corn will become "goat food." The tiger and corn may be left together. Here is how it works.
Only you and one other item and/or animal in the boat at one time.
First, you take the goat across and leave it. You travel back across the river in your boat alone. You pick up the Tiger, take it across and drop it out of the boat --but you have to put the goat back in your boat (so the tiger does make a meal of it). YOu take the goat back across, drop it off and pick up the corn. Take the corn over where the tiger is, drop the corn off (corn and tiger can be left together). Last you go back across, get the goat and the two of you join the tiger and corn on the other side of the river.
Too much travel for me!
