A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?

The man and the chicken cross the river, (the fox and corn are safe together), he leaves the chicken on the other side and goes back across. The man then takes the fox across the river, and since he can't leave the fox and chicken together, he brings the chicken back. Again, since the chicken and corn can't be left together, he leaves the chicken and he takes the corn across and leaves it with the fox. He then returns to pickup the chicken head across the river one last time.

Take the chicken over first. Go get the fox. Drop the fox off and take the chicken back with you. Leave the chicken there while you take the corn over to the side with the fox. Then go back and get the chicken. TA-DA!!!!

Let the chicken eat the corn, then let the fox eat the chicken and then he only has to take the fox over.
