He first takes the hen over to the other side of the river, and leaves it there. He then returns and takes the fox to the other side of the river, but this time he does not return to the other side alone he takes the chicken, so he does not leave it and the fox alone. Once he returns he sets the chicken down and takes the grain to the other side. Then he returns a final time to get the chicken and take it to the other side.

First he takes the hen across leaving the fox and grain on side A
Next he takes the grain across leaving the fox on side A...drops off the grain and gets the hen to take back w/him
Then he exchanges the hen for the fox, leaving the hen on Side A and grain on Side B.
He drops off the fox with the grain and returns back for the hen

How long has this riddle been around? Like 3,000 years? Let's come up with something new on here, rather than something that even all the ancient greeks knew the answer to.
