You have 3 Wolves and 3 chickens on one side of the river, and you are on the same side as they are with a small raft.

You have a raft to take them over, but you can only take one or two at a time - you can't take 'none' (you need at least one of them to help you steer, since you stink at rafting), and you can't take three or more.

If at any time either side of the river has more wolves than chickens, the chickens get eaten right there - and if you are on a side of the river, anything in your raft counts as being on that side.

You can get them all across in 11 moves.

Write down the answer here, using the following method:

type the 11-move winning sequence in here, one number per move. No spaces.

What to type:

1 - One Wolf on the raft.

2 - Two Wolves on the raft.

3 - One Chicken on the raft.

4 - Two Chickens on the raft.

5 - One Wolf + One Chicken on the raft.

So, if the winning moves were 'two wolves over, then one wolf back, then one wolf and one chicken over', you'd type 215. Do it!
