This farmer lives on an island. He goes to the store and buys a fox, chicken, and a bag of corn. He can only take one of them over to the island at a time in his boat. If he takes the the corn, the fox will eat the chicken. If he takes the fox, the chicken will eat the corn. If he takes the chicken, then he still has to make two more trips and leaves either the fox and chicken together or the chicken and the corn together. How does he get them all over safely.

He takes the chicken over first as the fox won't eat the corn.
He comes back and grabs the fox. After he brings it over, he takes the chicken back to the first side. Then he takes the corn over to the fox's side.
He comes back and gets the chicken.
Point me!

He takes the chicken first, then he goes back and brings the corn. Then he gives the chicken a ride back to the first side and then takes the fox to the island. Then he goes back to get the chicken.
Then the chicken dumps the farmer overboard for not planning ahead.

He takes the chicken first, goes back. He then takes the fox, leaves it there, but brings the chicken back with him. He takes the bag of corn back and leaves it there. He comes back for the chicken and then he returns to the island. By then, he will have all three items

That's way too much work!
I say feed the corn to the chicken - the chicken to the fox - take them all in one trip - and have the fox for diner!
