    You have a farmer, a goat, a wolf and some cabbage on the left side of a river. You need to get them all to the other side of the river but you can only take one at a time. The problem is that you cant leave the wolf and the goat together and you cant leave the caggage and the goat together how do you get them all across?

    Eat the cabbage, fart which will stun the wolf, and get the goat to the other side of the river before Max sees it.

    Wait a minute. I have a problem with the magnifying glass question. One, who is to say that the magnifying glass is powered by the sun or that you aren't in Alaska or wherever they have 24 hours of sunlight. Wait until night, and then walk through and get scorched by a full spectrum 1,000,000 watt bulb behind the glass. Second, who is to say that the fire-breathing dragon isnt a vegetarian?!

    See, my solution would have been to open the door with with magnifying glass but don't go in. Then open the door with the dragon and hide behind that door. The dragon will come into the room you're hiding in and go into the room with the magnifying glass and get vaporized. Then you can escape through the room the dragon had been in. :bigsmile:

    There was a tragic plane crash. Every single person died. But six lived. How is this possible?

    The goat would be safer with the wolf then with Max.

    A band is walking their equipement to go to a gig in the city at night and are short on time. They reach a rail road bridge they have to walk across to get to their gig. Since it is dark they need a flash light to cross the bridge and there is only enough space to cross 2 members at a time. They only have 1 flashlight so the flashlight has to be brought back across the bridge after a pair has crossed. It takes the singer 1 minute to walk across the bridge, the guitarist can cross in 2 minutes, the bassist can cross in 5 minutes and the drummer can cross in 10 minutes. A pair can only walk as fast as the slowest member.

    How do they get across in the least amount of time? (hint the fastest time is 17 minutes)
    Trip 1: Singer & drummer, singer goes back = 11 min
    Trip2: singer & Bassist, singer goes back = 6 min
    Trip: singer & guitarist, = 2 min
    I end up with 19 minutes, so I am guessing that is not right.

    A farmer has to go to the market to sell his fox, his chicken and a bag of grain. He reaches a river he has to cross with a barge but he can only carry 1 item on the barge at a time. He can`t leave the chicken and grain alone together and the can`t leave the chiken and the fox alone togther. How does he get all his items across without losing any?

    Take the chicken across, go back and grab the grain and take it across. Bring the chicken back with you, drop it off, and bring the fox across. Then go back for the chicken.

    very good.

    Now for a harder one.

A pair can only walk as fast as the slowest member.

    How do they get across in the least amount of time? (hint the fastest time is 17 minutes)

    The singer and the guitarist go together, the singer goes back (3 min), the bassist and drummer go together, the guitarist goes back (12 min), the singer and guitarist go together (2 min)

    Inside me the adventurous find
    Quests and treasures of every kind.
    Trolls, goblins, orcs, and more, await
    Within my closed walls for
    All those that wish to visit me.
    Your hands are the key
    To secrets untold,
    And your mind will unlock the door.

    What am I?

    As I was going to St. Ives,
    I met a man who had seven wives.
    Each wife had seven sacks,
    Each sack had seven cats,
    Each cat had seven kits.
    Kits, cats, sacks and wives,
    How many were going to St. Ives?

    I went into the woods and got it. I sat down to seek it. I brought it home with me because I couldn't find it. What is it?
