3 missionaries came to a river and they need to cross it. They met with 3 natives with a two-man canoe. However these natives are cannibals. They will eat the missionaries if they have a majority (ie two natives to 1 missionary, or three natives to two missionaries).
Good luck
Your job is to plan the crossing of these missionaries from the near bank to the far bank with the three natives. Make sure that the missionaries do not eaten by the natives either
Assume that all the missionaries and natives can row the canoe.
The canoe can be used with one or two persons inside.
Good Luck
PS. Give your answers in steps. e.g .
Step1 Bring one miss and one native across to far bank
Step 2. The Miss return to near bank.
Step 3....
Hint : The above example don't work :) !
