Cross the River (Riddle)

Monday, November 22, 2010

Mom, Dad, and 2 kids have come to a river, and they find a boat. It is small and can only carry one adult or 2 kids at a time. Both kids are good rowers, but how can the whole family reach the other side of the river?

have the 2 kids go over one stays one goes back...mom gets in the boat and kid stays....kid gets back in the boat and goes back...both kids ride back to mom....one kid returns dad gets boat and goes to mom and other kid ....other kid gets in and goes and gets the remaining kid and they return to their parents who are on the other side!

simplified:
kid A and kid B
A and B go over
A goes back
mom goes over
B goes back
A and B go to mom
A goes and gets dad
dad goes over
B goes to A
both A and B return on the other side
