He takes the chicken across and leaves him, then takes the corn across, leaving it and picking up the chicken. Then he takes the chicken back, picks up the fox and leaves the chicken. Takes the fox across, leaves him with the corn and returns for the chicken... Tadaaa

The man and the chicken cross the river, (the fox and corn are safe together), he leaves the chicken on the other side and goes back across.
The man then takes the fox across the river, and since he can't leave the fox and chicken together, he brings the chicken back.
Again, since the chicken and corn can't be left together, he leaves the chicken and he takes the corn across and leaves it with the fox.
He then returns to pick up the chicken and heads across the river one last time.

He takes the chicken across the river, then goes back to get the corn. He brings the chicken back across, leaves it on the original side of the river, and picks up the fox (the chicken is now where he started, the corn is across the river, and the fox is in the boat). He brings the fox across, then goes back to get the chicken.

So, the fox and corn are OK together, so the man can take the chicken across and leave it. Then he goes back.
Then he can take the fox across, but he has to take the chicken with him as he goes back. Now he can bring the corn over to the other side, leaving it with the fox, and returning to the other side.
Finally he makes one last trip to pick up the chicken. All done!
Hehe, had to think about that one for a while.

1. Take chicken and leaves it. goes back by himself.
2. Take corn to the other side and leave the corn but takes the
chicken back with him.
3. Leave the chicken on the original side and take the fox
back to the other side and leave the fox and corn over there.
4. Goes back to original side and get the chicken.

Take over the chicken first, the wolf will not eat the corn. Then take the bag of corn over second- and finally the wolf last because you don't want him eating the chicken on the other side.

First he takes the Fox over. Then he comes back and brings the corn over. He then brings the fox back and takes the chicken over. He then comes back for the fox and hopes that the chicken could not get up to the shelf he hid to corn on.
