4. Famous riddle: The wolf, the sheep and cabbage
The river-crossing brainteaser is a classic logic riddle. It’s very old and famous, but still tricky.
This riddle is so old that dates back to Charlemagne period. In fact the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was a big fan of logic and math puzzles and commissioned one of the first puzzle book of the history.The book is called “Problems to Sharpen the Young” and was written with the intent of make math and logical thought more interesting for young people.The river-crossing brainteaser was one of Charlemagne favourite riddle:
A farmer has to transport from one side of a river to the other a sheep, a wolf and a cabbage, but he has a boat with only two seats. He has to face a logic problem: if left alone together, the goat will eat the cabbage and the wolf will eat the goat.
How can the farmer bring to the other side of the river the sheep, the wolf and the cabbage?
