This is a classic.
So it goes like this: A farmer is walking along with his chicken, his dog, and a bag of seeds. The man comes to a river, which he must cross, with an old, rickety boat sitting in it. He can use the boat to cross with his three things, but there’s one problem: the boat can only carry two things at a time, and one of those things must ALWAYS be the farmer himself, since he needs to steer the boat. Now, if he leaves the chicken alone with the seeds, the chicken will eat the seeds. If he leaves the dog alone with the chicken, the dog will attack the chicken. However, if he leaves the dog alone with the seeds, the dog will just ignore them.
How can the farmer cross the river like this?
