I first heard this riddle growing up in 9ja..... A man must cross a River from point A to point B with the following properties without losing or endangering any of them: 1. A Lion, 2. A Goat & 3. A Yam. The Canoe can accommodate the man and ONLY one of the three items at a time. If left together; all the items cannot be separated from each other in the same house, the Goat is endangered by the Lion and the Yam is endangered by the Goat, but all three must make it safely across the river. Come up with a strategy for this man to safely ferry these items across the River, given the above conditions. |

First, the man will carry the goat across leaving the lion and the yam. Then he returns to carry the yam across but brings back the goat. That leaves only the yam at point B. Then he drops the goat at point A and carries the lion across to point B, leaving lion and yam at point B and the goat at point A. He finally comes back to take the goat across and Journey continues. Happy sunday |
