The Wolf, Goat and Cabbage
"The Wolf, Goat and Cabbage" is a classic river crossing puzzle. In this scenario, a farmer needs to transport a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage across a river using a small boat. However, the boat can only carry the farmer and one other item at a time.
The challenge arises because if left alone together, the wolf will eat the goat, and the goat will eat the cabbage. The farmer must find a way to transport all three safely without any of them being eaten, requiring careful planning and strategy.
