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? :) |

at first, i thought it was your basic wolf-man-chicken-bucket thing, but i dont think so. theres so much more to deal with here.
i can get one pair across, then it gets weird |

Lisa's dog drives mom's dog, and dad's dog across, comes back, and drives ed's and judy's dog.
Then lisa's dog drives lisa across, but lisa's dog stays across, and lisa drives back.
she then takes each person accross, leaving herself in the baot.
she gets out
maybe that works
I'm doin some linear matrix algebra right now.. :( got 2 big exams for that this week |
