OK. A farmer goes into town, and gets a fox, a goose, and a bag of corn. The only way back to his farm is to take a boat across a river which will only carry himself and one item. However, if the fox is left alone with the goose, the fox will eat the goose. If the goose is left alone with the corn, the goose will eat the corn. How does the farmer get all three items and himself across the river, completely intact?
I will provide the answer unless one of you gets it.
Good luck!

Let the goose eat the corn then the fox eats the goose and the farmer still gets over the river with everything intact.

He takes 2 different boats. He puts himself and the goose in one boat, and the fox and corn in another boat.
