A man went to market & bought :
a cow ,
a large pile of grass
& a tiger
And the man can take only one item/object with him in a boat to cross to the other side of a river
(i.e either the cow/tiger/pile of grass)per round
The man need to cross the river & wants all the animals on the other side of the bank , & it is not possible to take more than 1 animal/ grass pile @ a time.
Question is How is he going to take all the animals + grass pile( as it was when bought from the market) to the other side??
It should be noted however, that if the man is not there:
The tiger may eat the Cow/ Cow may eat the grass
-
First take the tiger to the other side of the river
Then take the pile of grass to the other side of the river (tiger won't eat grass)
Then come back and take the cow to the other side of the river. (the man is present, so no eating)

The cow won't eat the grass? :-\
-
The cow won't eat the grass? :-\
No, because the man will be present on the other side. ;)

With the tiger, cow and large pile of grass.
-
First take the tiger to the other side of the river
Won't the cow and grass be together when the man is taking the tiger to the other side?
-
first take cow 2 the other side
then come bak and take the grass 2 the other side
and bring cow bak
then take tiger 2 the other side
and then go bak and get cow
:D

I got another question,
Theres a bridge made of wood which is very old(and a very long one) , in some places in the bride some planks are missing. below the bridge is a river , and in the river is a boat which is right under the bridge .At the same moment a hen goes walks on to the bridge hoping to cross to the other side, suddenly it wants to lay & egg :O !!
it lays the egg , Where does it fall ??
-
^ On the bridge.
-
think again!! :D
-
the egg will fall off the bridge and in to the water, since the boat can't be as long as the bridge.
-

nope ! :D
-
the egg will roll to the other side of the land or to the side the hen came from ;D ;D
-
no no w8 it wnt go anywhere since the hen will lay on the egg
-
hen waited tilll she crossed the bridge? ::)
-

By the way there is a ans 4 da question :D

i do have a brain, but i dont use it for silly things :P
-
so if this is silly y bother with finding the ans :P
-
i want to know the silly answer, to stay away from it :P

i think there can be three situations

2)on the boat
3)in the river

it lays the egg , Where does it fall ??
When it lays, the egg rolls, passes through one of the rectangular holes where planks first existed and straight in the boat which was exactly under that missing plank (may hit a soft cloth placed in the boat {You didn't mention. I know.}). :P
