OK! Now #1. 2 Sheep, #2.1 sheep & 1 Wolf. #3.2 Wolves and then cut the rope sending the 2 wolves down river never to be seen again,the remaining sheep kick the living sh*t out of the last wolf. The End!

Just make 3 trips, each time carrying one wolf and one sheep. The wolves will never outnumber the sheep cuz you are bring them across evenly.
Usually this riddle has a trick.. like you can't have the wolf and sheep together alone, and you can only make 4 trips.

two sheep take the boat first, one sheep goes back and picks up the third sheep, he then goes back for one wolf, drops him off, it is now 2 sheep 1 wolf, he goes back for the second wolf, and it is 2 wolves 2 sheep, he then goes back and picks up the third wolf making it 3 sheep and 3 wolves on the other side.

1st--> 2 wolves (this will leave 3 sheep and 1 wolf (not outnumbered))
2nd-> 2 sheep (this will leave 1 sheep & 1 wolf (still not outnumbered) on other side will then be 2 sheep 2 wolves (not outnumbered))
3rd-->1 sheep, 1 wolf (this should get everyone to the other side w/o being outnumbered)

Well, I've NO clue what the answer is, but I'll be keeping this question on my watch list, just so that I can find out the answer!
I'd say move one sheep and one wolf together at a time, then there's always equal numbers. But I'm also sure that this is not even close to the correct answer! lol
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!!!!! : )

how many trips are they allowed to take?
ok i say a wolf and a sheep get on the boat and go to the other side and then .......wait how do they get the boat back over there.... ok lemme start over,
a wolf and a sheep get in a boat and go to the other side, the sheep goes by himself back to the original side, he picks up a sheep, they both go to the other side, one of them takes the boat back, and gets a wolf... o wait crap the sheep was outnumbered already.... this is hard! tell me the answer

then 2 wolves.

If two wolves cross first and one comes back and picks up a sheep cross the wolf goes back picks up another sheep comes back picks up another wolf crosses comes back and picks up the sheep and crosses. Done.

Wouldn't you just send 1 wolf and 1 sheep each time. That is even and makes the most sense.
