River Crossing Puzzle | Farmer, Goat, Wolf and Cabbage Cross A River Answer

Welcome to a fun river crossing puzzle! Imagine there's a farmer, a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage on one side of the river, and they need to get to the other side. Sounds easy, right? But there's a twist - the farmer can only take one of them with him in his boat. And if he leaves the wolf with the goat, trouble! The wolf will eat the goat. Same goes for the goat and the cabbage - the goat will chomp down on the cabbage if left alone. Can you help the farmer figure this out?

Rules and Hints:

 

The farmer always needs to be with the boat to drive it.

The boat can only carry one extra passenger beside the farmer.

No leaving the wolf alone with the goat, and no leaving the goat alone with the cabbage.
