FangsNfeet -> Can you cross the river? (11/16/2005 9:38:54 PM)

Ok..... This is a tough one. This is an IQ tester. The object of the game is to get everyone across the river. This is a test some Japanese applicants have to take when applying for a job in Japan. I can't cross the river! If anyone gets everyone across, please tell me how. The odd thing to me is, once you begin taking people across the river, you can't remember how you got them there when you have to start again. Someone sent this to me, and she crossed the river after trying so many times. Once you begin this test, it's hard to stop. You feel so determined to get these people across. The instructions are listed below. After reading, click on the link. Enjoy!

Click on link, and then click on the big blue circle. Use the rules below.

This is going to do your head in, but it can be done.

Apparently this is an IQ test given to job applicants in Japan:

"Everybody has to cross the river".



The following rules apply:



Only 2 persons on the raft at a time

The father can not stay with any of the daughters, without their mother's presence

The mother can not stay with any of the sons, without their father's presence

The thief (striped shirt) can not 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.

I've done this before, only it was chickens and foxes ... took me 1 try then.

I will be honest though - I posted that before I tried it ... took me 2 tries to do this version.

it leaves the son alone with the theif

Got it first try, but it's like those logic problems, have to think a bit.




siamsa24 -> RE: Can you cross the river? (11/18/2005 3:46:28 PM)

I'll admit, it took me three tries. I have always had trouble with these things though, I lose track of the rules
