Here is the order:
Take the goat over first (wolf won't eat lettuce)
Travel back
Take either the wolf or lettuce over second (either one)
Travel back WITH THE GOAT
Take either the wolf or lettuce over next (whichever one you did not take before) and leave the goat behind by himself
Travel back alone
Take the goat over again, now all 3 are on the far side and only the wolf and lettuce were left alone unsupervised

2. Go back and get the lettuce.
3. Put the lettuce on the far shore, and take the goat back.
4. Put the goat back on the first shore and take the wolf.
5. Go back and get the goat.

you take the goat over first than come back for the lettuce, you bring the goat back to the first side and drop him off and pick up the wolf, then go back to the first side for the goat. then all three will be on the opposite side of the river

Dear,
First take Goat to other side.Wolf could not eat lettuce while you are rowing.Then comeback & take Wolf along with you to otherside.(Only lettuce on initial side).While comingback bringback goat along with you bkas the wolf left there may eat while you are rowingback.Then leave the goat on initial side & go with lettuce to otherside to join with wolf.Then comeback & take the poor goat to otherside.
