What's the answer to this riddle?

Question

You're going to sell a chicken and a bag of corn at the market. You brought your dog with you. To get to the market you have to cross a river in a small boat. Because the boat is so small you can only bring one thing with you at a time. How do you do it? If you leave the chicken and the corn alone the chicken will eat the corn. If you leave the dog and the chicken alone the dog will eat the chicken.

Answer 1

Pick up the chicken go to the other side and drop it, then go back pick up the corn. Put it on the other side, pick up the chicken, go back.. drop the chicken. Pick up the dog take it to the other side. Go back to pick up the chicken and then put it on ther other side as well. THE END! :)

Answer 2

Ok, take the chicken first.  Then go back and get the dog.  When you drop the dog off he might eat the chicken so take the chicken back!  Swap it for the corn and drop it off, then go back and retrieve the chicken!  You need to be aware the dog will eat the chicken and the chicken will eat the corn!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

You take the chicken first.  Then you take the dog.  You take the chicken back with you and leave it there. Then you take the corn and leave it with the dog. Lastly, you get the chicken. You are all then across the river.

Answer 4

Get the chicken, bring it to the other side.

Drop it off, then go back and pick up the dog.

Bring the dog to the chicken's side, and drop the dog off.  Put the chicken back in the boat with you and bring it back to the first side.

Drop the chicken back off at the first side, and pick up the corn, bring it to the other side and leave it with the dog.

Go back and get the chicken - now everything is on the other side!!

Answer 10

don't even bring the dog. you're not selling it or anything so it would be pointless.

Answer 11

Take the corn across first.  Make the dog swim beside the boat.  Come back for the chicken, with the dog on the other side.

Answer 12

First you take the chicken across, leaving the corn and the dog behind. Leave the chicken on that side and go back to bring over the corn. When back where the chicken is swap the chicken and the corn (so leave the corn and bring the chicken back across with the boat) then swap the dog and the chicken (leave the chicken behind and take the dog to where the corn now is) and then finally sail back for the chicken, at this point you'll have the dog, the chicken, and the corn on the market's side, all safe.
