Asked by David
A farmer has a dog, two geese and three bags of corn. He comes to a river. The boat to ferry him across the river can only hold the man plus two of his six possessions at a time. The farmer knows that if he is not right there the dog will eat a goose or a goose will eat the corn. How many time does the farmer need to cross the river to get all of his possessions safely to the other side?

It will take more than three trips. You'll need to bring at least one of the passengers back to the original shore.
