Brain teaser: How does he do it?
07th June 2009
A man lives in a small farmhouse, which is separated from the village by a river. On the other side of the river is a shop. One day, he visited the shop, where he bought a chicken and a fox for his farm, and a bag of corn to feed the chicken on.
The man can only take one item and himself across in the boat at any one time. He cannot kill any animals himself, or allow an animal to eat another animal. Nor can he allow the animals to eat the bag of corn.
How will the man get himself and his shopping across?
There's a few possible answers to this one, scroll down for one of them.
