There are 3 animals - a sheep, a lion and a Jackal - stranded on an island. A boat arrives to rescue the animals. Here is the situation - the boat can only take two animals at a time as it might sink if there is too much weight and the boat has only enough gas to make two trips back and forth. Also, you cannot leave two animals together as one will eat the other...so the question is how does the captain of the boat successfully rescue the animals taking two animals at a time, but also not leaving two animals alone together as one will eat the other and do it in two trips (back and forth, back and forth)? if the question is not clear enough, please ask to clarify...otherwise ...answer away......

Ok, firstly, i assume, that the animals are safe in the boat, right?
First Trip: the boatman picks up the sheep and the lion, transports them across, but only drops off the lion.
Second trip: Boatman takes sheep back with him and picks up jackal and get it across.
Thats how all three animals wud end up on the other side of the river :-D

He didn't!!!!!! He was too retarted to figure it out and took the lion. Opened a circus and taught him tricks. While the chicken and the jackal died alone on the island. LOL
