Here is a conundrum that 1: would like my readers to answer: There are three mis- sionaries and three savages on one side of a river, and they have to cross it to reach their destination. Now only one missionary and one savage can row a boat, which boat will only carry two people, that is, the carsnan and one ather. On no account must two savages be left with one missionary, for they would eat him For instance, if the savage carsinan took over a missionary, when he came back there would be three savages to two missionaries. If he took over two savages and then a missionary, when he left to recross the river the two savages would eat that missionary. So the thing to find out is how they all crossed without any mishaps. It's a bit difficult, perhaps, but I am sure that if I can find it out, which I did in about twenty minutes, any of iny readers can do so.
