THE CANNIBALS AND THE MISSIONARIES
Whenever
the Cannibals out number the Missionaries, the Missionaries get eaten. The
object of the puzzle is to get all the Missionaries and Cannibals to the other
side of
the river without any Missionaries getting ate. There
is a boat that will hold one or two people.
At least one person must be in the boat. You
cannot send it across empty. For
example, if one Missionary goes across in the boat, the Cannibals would out
number the
other two and they would be eaten. Best
way to do puzzle is to use coins, 3 pennies for
the Cannibals and 3 dimes for the Missionaries and slide them back and forth
across
an invisible river. Send
me email and explain how it is possible to get all the Missionaries and the
Cannibals
over to the other side. |
