  1. man & goat to other side --man returns ---man takes wolf to other side --man returns with goat --man takes corn to otherside --man returns ---man takes goat to other side.


  2. First you take the goat.  Then you take half the wolf.  Then you take the other half.  Finally you take the corn.

  3. I'll take the corn.

    Sorry Bill.

  4. the goat ate the corn

    the wolf ate the goat

    the man stayed with the wolf on the boat

    either that or the man killed the wolf

  5. take the goat cause the wolf wont eat the corn?

  6. I don't get it.

    The goat ate popcorn?

    What does Walmart have to do with this.

  7. i hate you

    and walmart

  8. Leave them behind together. Let the goat eat the corn and the wolf eat the goat, then the only two things left are the man and the wolf. If the boat is big enough for the man and one other, then there you go. The man and the wolf (with the goat and the corn in his belly) go across the river in the boat.  What Wal Mart has to do with all of this, I'm not sure?

  9. The man and the corn go in the boat, and the wolf and goat are tied behind the boat...swimming?

  10. Take the wolf first and put the corn in a tree.

  11. 1. take the goat across.  

    2. return and take the wolf across.

    3. take the goat with you back across.

    4. take the corn across.

    5. return and take the goat across.

  12. 1s you take the goat

    2n you take the bag of cort but

    3d you bring the goat back and take the wolf

    4h you go back and bring the goat

  13. *sigh* Such an old puzzle. You take the goat first, come back and get the corn, leave the corn and take the goat back, take the wolf over, come back and get the goat, bring it across last.

    Assuming the wolf doesn't eat the man somewhere in the middle of this.

  14. man and corn in boat and wolf and goat swim/pulled behind the boat

  15. goat first, then corn, then when you drop the corn off you take the goat and bring it back to the first shore where you pick up the wolf and put him in the boat leaving the goat back at the orgininal shore.  Take wolf across leaving him across with the corn at the other side.  Go back and pikc up the goat and bring him to the other shore.  Now you have all three on the other side still intact and everything is good.  GIVE ME THE BEST ANSWER!!! i WAS FIRST!!!

  16. IMPOSSIBLE, unless the man doesnt have to be in the boat at all times
