    OK... you'll get 10 credits if u figure this out... its not hard but it kinda is, lol

    here we go :

    One day a farmer decided that he is going to go to the market to sell afew things as he was running out of money, he takes a fox, a duck and a bag of seeds to try and sell at the market.

    On the way to the market, he has to cross a river. He uses his really really old boat thats alwayz tied up to a tree, infact, he needs this money from selling the animals to fix his boat or save up for a better one.

    Now as he gets in the boat, he takes with him all 3 items/animals but then remembers that the boat can't hold all four of their weight... so he decides he needs to take one animal at a time across the river in his rickedy old boat thats about to fall apart.

    So here is where you come in...

    What order(be specific) does he need to take the animals...

    Here'z the deal :

    He can't take the Seeds first because when he's on he's way to the other side of the river, he has left the Fox alone with the Duck, therefor the Fox will eat the duck and thats no good for the poor old farmer.

    Another example :

    He can't take the Fox first because while he is gone, the Duck will eat the Seeds...

    OK, post your answers here... first one to get it right gets 10 credits.. no strings attached.. maybe even 15 or 20 creds if your lucky :D

    Have a good one trying to solve it :lol:

    It's really old.

    Anyway, you first take the duck accross the river.

    Then you come back, and take the bag of seeds with you.

    Then you bring the duck back, and take the fox with you.

    Then you drop the fox off, and come back for the duck.

    :lol: hahahaha :lol:

    See u didn't think about it properly like i thought people wouldn't, lol

    OK, so he needs to take them one at a time right?

    So he takes the duck over like u suggested yeah?

    And then he leaves it on the other side and goes back to pick up the econd animal and he does what u said..?

    And then he picks up the fox and when he gets to the market side of the river and places the fox next to the duck... u see where i'm getting at ;)

    The Fox will eat the duck when the farmer goes back to get the seeds :lol:
