"Everybody has to cross the river." The following rules apply:
everybody has to cross the river
Seeing as how my day is not off to a brilliant start (I completely forgot Jimmy's 'Community Awareness' program, which started at TEN)....I'm not going to add further evidence of stupidness to Ye Old Cognitive Load by attempting this problem. Not today, anyway. Today, I'm sticking to integers. And harvesting the basil plants to make pesto to freeze for the winter. And maybe, finally, emptying out the overflowing Mail Basket. And forcing Christopher to do his edhelper.com worksheets. (A great tip from Susan. $20 a year, and almost certainly worth it--definitely worth it for me, I should say.)

The father can't stay with the daughters unless the mother is there? Likewise the mother? Yuck. -- CarolynJohnston - 01 Oct 2005
everybody has to cross the river
Just got this email from my sister: FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW FIRST"Everybody has to cross the river." The following rules apply:
- Only 2 persons on the raft at a time.
- The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence.
- The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence.
- The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there.
- Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.
- To start click on the big blue circle on the right.
- To move the people click on them. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.
