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.
