This was sent to me in an email. See if you can figure it out. It took me a while, maybe 20 minutes to figure it out. Then, I didn't know how I did it to do it again.

Directions

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 did this a few times. I just don't remember how! Trav has this on his car site so if anyone needs to know how to do it, I can find out.

I found the solution through google, but didn't want to give it away. Let others struggle too!

Oh I did this about two weeks ago and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me! I got it now! I couldn't remember but I figured it out again.

If you want the answer, highlight below:

Thief & policeman go across, thief stays
Policeman comes back, picks up boy
Drops off boy & picks up thief
Both return to bank
Dad goes across with other boy - both boys now on 2nd bank
dad returns
Mum & dad go across, dad stays with boys, mum returns
Policeman & theif go across & both stay there. Dad returns
Mum & dad go across. Dad stays, mum returns
Mum & girl go across & both stay.
Policeman & thief go across. Thief stays whilst policeman & girl go across
Policeman returns last time to pick up thief.
