A farmer has a small boat to carry his stuff in.
He can only cross the stream to (get home) with 1 item in it at a time.
He has with him:
1. A Lion
2. A Goat
3. A bag of Potatoes
If left together, the Lion will eat the Goat!
And the Goat will eat the potatoes if they are left alone!
How does he cross the stream, taking only one item at a time????

1) The farmer takes the Goat with him to the other side.
2) The farmer come back, picks up the potatoes.
3) The farmer leaves the potatoes on the other side and takes the Goat back with him.
4) The farmer leaves the Goat on the shore, and takes the Lion with him to the other side.
5) The farmer leaves the Lion and goes back to the shore to get the Goat.
6) Farmer takes the Goat to join up with the Lion and the potatoes.
Then the farmer cooks the potatoes over an open fire, milks the goat and skins the Lion for a coat. It's cold out there!

You take the goat first because the lion won't eat the potatoes. Then you come back for either the potatoes or the lion and then come back to get whatever was left.
