safely crossing the river
Two boys and a man need to cross a river. They can only use the canoe. It will hold only the man OR the two boys' weight. How can they all get across safely?

The two boys go across. One of them get out. The other one goes back. He gets out and the man gets in. He goes across. Then the man gets out and the other boy gets in and goes across. Then the boy that was left gets in and now they both go across together..............this is good too....

The 2 boys cross the river, one comes back and gets out of the boat. The man goes across the river and the other boy comes back. The two boys are back on the first side of the river, they both get into the boat and rejoin the man on the other side.

Easy! My theory is A to B.
First, the two boys cross the river with the canoe.
Drop boy2 at B, boy1 come back to A
The man cross the river safely to B, while boy1 stay at A.
Boy2 cross back to A.
Boy1 and Boy2 cross the river together safely!

Two boys cross the river.
Boy one comes back with the boat.
He stays there while the man crosses the river.
Boy two comes back to boy one.
The boys cross the river together and join the man.
IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

First the two boys go across. One gets out, while the other one goes back. He gets out and the man gets in. The man goes across. Then the man gets out while the other boy gets in and goes across for the boy that was left. The two boys go across together, then they are all on the other side..

first the two boys will go. one will return with the boat. then only the man will go. then the other boy(who has already crossed the river), will take the boat back, take the other boy with him and then cross the river. simple
