4. A man came to a river carrying a fox, a duck, and a basket of corn. There was a boat tied to the dock, in which he could ferry one of the three items across the river at any one time. He could not leave the fox alone with the duck, nor the duck alone with the corn. How did he get all three across?
First the man took the duck across, then he came back and took the fox over. He left the fox on the far side of the river and returned with the duck. He then left the duck on the near side and took the corn over. Then he returned and took the duck across.
Bonus Challenge
This time the man reached the river with a fox, a duck, and a basket of corn, but this fox ate corn as well as ducks! There was the same boat tied to the dock, in which he could ferry one of the three items across the river at any one time. He could not leave the fox with either the corn or the duck, and of course, the duck would gladly eat the corn if they were left together. How did he get all three across?
The man used the rope that had secured the boat to the dock to tie the duck to the back of the boat. The duck swam along behind the boat as the man ferried the fox and corn over in turn.
