He gabs the goat and then after a quick cigarette he places the goat in the boat and takes it to the other side. He then comes back a takes the wolf, and takes it across also. Upon arriving at the other side, he once again takes the goat and takes the goat back to the starting point again. Once there he takes the hay and leaves the goat alone... and takes the hay to where the wolf is on the other side. He comes back and takes the goat again and slowing goes back to where the wolf and hay are waiting.
Well I know this because it happened to me once, I was stuck on an island with a goat and a wolf and some hay. Well actually it was an Emu, a Spotted Fox and some pellets.... Ok ok... it was two heavy chicks and a Chunky Bar... but if I did not do both of them, they would have eaten my Chunky!
Thunderdog, good thing you were not around watching the goat from the wolf or optioncoach might... :eek:
We have a winner! Clearly, you have done this before. And I'm sure I don't need to remind you that smoking is a bad habit.
First bring the goat to the mainland, leaving the hay and the wolf. Then get the wolf, but on the way back for the hay leave the wolf and take the goat back to the island. When you get to the island leave the goat, take the hay, and then come back for the goat. -Neo EDIT: Crap... someone beat me to it...
Not to worry, you are correct. Therefore, you may continue trading. However, you are still required to send me your money. Check the fine print.
assuming the thread author still wants an answer here it is: The two cars will intersect and pass each other or they will not. It really doesn't matter as to their distance at the start point because the bird can remain between them. The back and forth part could be interpretted to be a part of this problem and another answer could be possible. The back is one direction and the forth connotates a return trip in full or in part. See my next post. (hold your breath as I want an answer to my question, before I give you the answer) The answer is 60, so far. How much does the job pay? Michael B.
