A farmer went to a market and bought a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and rented a boat. But crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only himself and a single one of his purchases: the wolf, the goat, or the cabbage. If left unattended together, the wolf would eat the goat, or the goat would eat the cabbage. The farmer’s challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How did he do it?
The farmer takes seven trips over – here are his steps:
1. Take the goat over
2. Return
3. Take the wolf or cabbage over
4. Return with the goat
5. Take the cabbage or wolf over
6. Return
7. Take the goat over
The riddle doesn’t forbid the farmer from bringing a purchase back, which makes the steps above possible.
