Snowball II drives LSD, and Donut across, comes back, and drives Santa's Little Helper and Snowball.
Then Snowball II drives lisa across, but Snowball II stays across, and lisa drives back.
she then takes each person accross, leaving herself in the baot.
she gets out
new names added |
no, for the same reason as last attempt |

| why doesnt snowball II take all the dogs over, and then take all the humans over. |
|

| thats what i said a few posts above, but it's wrong actually because the dogs will have to be with some people without their resective owner, so i think may last post works |

Five family members have one dog each. They are at a river, trying to cross it, and have a boat that can carry three beings, human or canine, at a time. The dogs can't be with other family members without their respective owner, but can be with just other dogs without problem.
Lisa-Snowball II
Marge-LSD
Homer-Donut
Bart-Santa's Little Helper
Maggie-Snowball
Snowball II took a boat driving course, and can drive the boat.
Stupid problem solving math class. This isnt even ing math. Can anyone help? :) |
maggie transports bart and homer, comes back, transports marge and lisa, and stays on the other side, now lisa goes back, picks up snowball II, and departs on the other side, now snowball II goes back alone, transports lsd & donut, comes back, transports santa's little helper and snowball, and voila.
to try this with numbers:
Lisa-Snowball II
Marge-LSD
Homer-Donut
Bart-Santa's Little Helper
Maggie-Snowball
1-6
2-7
3-8
4-9
5-0
..starting point--river--end point. ( = direction of boat)

snowball 2 drives lsd and donut accross
snowball 2 gets out, and lisa gets in.
lisa drives bart and maggie accross, comes back, and gets out
snowball 2 gets in and drives santa's little helper and snowball 1 accross.
snowball 2 drives back and picks up lisa, and they both get out
i guess that works better maybe |
Your first step is wrong...it leaves LSD and Donut alone with Bart and Maggie

Snowball II is without Lisa |
|
|
| verdonsky |
