A farmer is walking down a trail with three things: a goat, a wolf, and a head of cabbage. They come to a wide river, where there is a boat big enough to hold only the farmer and one other item at a time. The farmer will have to take each item over seperately, but there's a problem. If the goat is left alone with the cabbage, the goat will eat the cabbage. If the wolf is left alone with the goat, the goat will be eaten. How does the farmer get all three items over, intact?

There is no swimming involved.

HINT: The solution involves taking one item over and then later taking it back.

  1. Well my guess is this: He'd have to take the goat over first b/c you didn't say anything about the wolf eating the cabbage..... idk lol


  2. The farmer is approached by a little troll m**o who gives him magical boogy pants, these magical boogey pants weild the power to make anything possible

    the farmer uses this to conjur a larger boat he shakes his f***y and does the twist, and there ya have it

  3. take the goat over in the boat....come back alone

    then take the wolf over....and bring the goat back

    the take the cabbage over and leave it with the wolf. come back alone to get the goat

  4. 1st take the goat

    2nd take the cabage

    3rd take goat back

    4th take wolf

    5th go back

    6th bring goat

  5. Take the goat first. Then the cabbage and wolf.

  6. First he makes the wolf eat the goat who's eatting the cabbage. Simple, then all he has to do is take the wolf over in one trip.

  7. first he takes the wolf and then the cabbage and the goat!

    then take the cabbage when you put the goat on the other side.

  10. uuhhh i kno the farmer will have to eat the cabbage den bring the wolf den the goat

  11. first the farmer takes the goat. and ties it to a pole so it wont run.

    then he goes back for the wolf. he drops off the wolf. takes the goat back. ties the goat there to a pole. then takes the cabbage over. then goes back for the goat.

    answer to the how does he get over:

    if he is on a trail there will be trees. he finds an axe. chops down a tree then builds a raft with the glue in his pocket.

  12. Take over the wolf over with the cabbage and drop him off.  Take the cabbage back, collect the goat and rejoin the wolf.  Cabbage wasn't sacrificed.
