River Crossing Problems
River Crossing Problems are classic puzzles in which a group of characters must cross a river using a limited number of trips and specific rules. Typically, these characters include a farmer, a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage, each with unique constraints that prevent certain combinations from being left alone together. The challenge lies in finding a sequence of moves that allows all characters to cross safely without violating the rules.
These problems often require logical reasoning and strategic planning. They can be represented visually or solved through trial and error, making them popular in educational settings to enhance problem-solving skills. Variations of these puzzles exist, featuring different characters and rules, but the core objective remains the same: successfully transport all characters across the river.
