Here’s a riddle for you: A farmer is heading home with a wolf, a rooster, and a bag of feed. He comes to a river that is too long to go around and too deep and wide to walk across. There is an old row boat he can use to cross but can only take one animal at a time. He can not leave the wolf alone with the rooster because the wolf will eat the rooster and he cannot leave the rooster alone with the bag of feed because the rooster will eat the feed. How does he get all three across safely?
answer for medinapie
he takes the rooster across
he comes back alone
he takes the wolf across
he takes the rooster back
he takes the feed across
he comes back alone
he takes the rooster across
Maybe I’m a little slow this morning, but this one was kind of tough! I did get it right on the first try, though!

I love these 3×3x3 logic games. I must confess I had to write it out visually because I haven’t had my cup of coffee yet. I got it though!!

It’s getting better all the time. Good one. A little flash back on the Mustangs? Enjoy your 3×3s.

Yay me… and I’m pretty sure I know those three college linemen.

I’m just getting into these puzzles.
I’m so pleased when I get them right, but I’m still writing them all out.
