How do u take a lion, a goat and a yam across the stream (1 at a time)? A canoe is provided for transportation

Answer 1

1. Take the goat across to side 2.
The lion is left with the yam on side 1. Lions don't eat yams.

2. Go back to side 1, and take the yam across to side 2.
The lion is left alone on side 1.

3. On your way back to side 1, take the goat back with you.
The yam is left alone on side 2.

4. Take the lion across to side 2.
The goat is left alone on side 1.

5. Go back and take the goat across to side 2.
All three are on side 2.

Answer 2

Presumably this is only half the question , the rest, i assume is "you cant leave the lion alone with the goat and the goat with the Yam", if this is the case :

1) Take the goat across
2) go back with nothing
3) take the lion across
4) come back with the goat
5) take the yam across
6) come back with nothing
7) take the goat across.

And they are all on the other side

Answer 3

Put the yam in a tree so the goat won't eat it. Bring the lion across and tie him to a tree on the other side. Then get the yam out of the tree and bring it to the other side. You can leave it on the ground since I doubt a lion would find a yam to be tasty. Then go get the goat.

I think you're missing part of this riddle...

Answer 4

Throw the yam across the stream. The goat will chase the yam, the lion will chase the goat. You won't even need the canoe.
Provided the goat and the lion are hungry, of course.

Answer 5

Take the goat across. Come back and take the lion across. Bring the goat back and take the yam across. Then come back and get the goat. Heck the lion might eat the yam if it is hungry.

Answer 6

Let the lion eat the goat and the yam and then put the lion on the canoe and off you go!

Answer 7

Let the goat eat the yam, then you eat the goat and then take the lion in the canoe with you and hope he's not hungry!!

Answer 8

take the goat on the canoe with you. tie the lion behind the canoe. the lion can swim. use your mouth to bite the yam. . and row the canoe across the stream

Answer 9

Take the goat first, then get the yam and take it, bring the goat back and take the lion and then take the goat back over.

Answer 10

cook a lovely curried goat with yam then share it with the lion as you paddle merrily accross to the other side....then if the lion gets to frisky pick up the canoe and **** it on the head...
.ok if you want to do it the boring way...
take the goat come back empty ,
take the yam swap for goat back
leave the goat take the lion then go back
and get your little goat....yawn,,,still think my ways more fun
