Homework VI
This homework is designed to “work out” your brain by requiring you to think!
The solution to this is very simple and does not require any math.
Don’t ask your parents or your teammates to help with this one.
You may call me for clarification, but don’t expect me to tell you the answer!
We’ll discuss our answers on Thursday.
Question:
A farmer is taking a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain home.
To get there, he must cross a river, but he’s only allowed to take one
item across the bridge with him at a time. If the fox is left alone with
the chicken, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken is left alone
with the grain, the chicken will eat the grain. How can the farmer cross
the river without any of his possessions being eaten?
