Three puzzles for you. An Arab wishes to ferry his hen, sack of grain, and pet fox over the river. His boat will only carry himself and one other. If he leaves the hen with the grain, she'll eat it; if he leaves the hen with the fox, the fox will eat the hen. How can the Arab deposit them all safely on the other side? The wind blew a hole 9 feet by 2 feet in a barn. The farmer has a piece of wood 6 feet by 3 feet to repair the hole. How can he cut the wood so that it will fit into the hole in the barn? On the picture shown, how can you cross out 8 lines, so that you reduce 9 squares to 2? |
