    you have a bag of corn, a chicken, and a dog. you must cross a river and get them all across, however - you can only carry one at a time. To make matters worse, you cannot leave the chicken with the corn, because it will eat it and you cannot leave the dog with the chicken for the same reason. How do you do it?

    Take chicken across first (assume he isn't going to fly away)
    Go back across to original side and get the corn and take it to the other side, after dropping off the corn get the chicken back in the boat
    Leave chicken and put dog in boat (assuming it hasn't run away and that the chicken won't fly away)
    Go back across and leave the dog with the corn
    Go back across to original side and get the chicken for the last time and bring it over to join the dog and corn
