MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – Chicken Crossing Puzzle…

Well done to Tom and Jaden who both gave a correct answer to our probability puzzle last week!

And now here is this week’s classic logic puzzle for you…

A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river.

He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing.

If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken.

If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn.

How does the man do it?

    First he takes the chicken over then he comes back empty then he takes the corn over. He then comes back with the chicken. He takes the fox over, comes back empty and takes the chicken over.
