Riddle!

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?

Answer to come next Friday..I think :-D

    That’s easy. It never said they all had to come across at the same time. The two kids take one parent, row him or her across, then come back and row the other across.

    Nope. It never said that 3 people could fit into the boat. Only 2 kids or 1 adult. Try again after the tone. Thank you. *BEEP*

    Here:

    Two kids go across. One kid comes back and swaps out for mom. Mom, now on other side, swaps out for other kid who goes to pick up his sibling and bring him to mom’s side. So now we have Dad on one side and Mom with kids on other side with boat. One kid goes to Dad’s side. He swaps with Dad, who goes to other side with Mom and a kid. So now we have a kid on one side and Mom, Dad and a kid with the boat on the other. The kid with the parents takes the boat across to pick up the kid on the original side to reunite him with his family.

    Problem solved.

    Wow Micro. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that you looked that up, since that doesn’t sound like you at all.
    But we all konw how honorable you are, so I’m sure that that’s not the case.

    Ouch, Blade.

    I swear that I came up with that on my own. It took a few minutes, but that was me. Ouch.

    And here, ladies and gentlemen, is a rare glimpse of a double post in its natural habitat. Notice how pathetic it is that it could not be compressed into one post. Also notice who did it.
    I kid.
    Mockery aside, try not to let that happen too often.

    I know, I usually chew out double posters too, but I just couldn’t help it this time.

    I didn’t get it.
    If they can afford having two kids, they should be very able to just hire a local fisher to get them across.

    Actually, having two kids might hinder their finances.

    Which just goes to show, always use protection.
