Good morning, everyone! For today’s activity, I’ve been inspired by our Year 6 children. A few weeks ago, they were solving logic puzzles so I thought I’d share one with you all today.
A hunter has a lion, goat and carrot and he wants to cross the river taking all three along. There is a boat that can fit him plus either the lion, the goat, or the carrot. He is confused because if the lion and the goat are alone on one shore, the lion will eat the goat. If the goat and the carrot are alone on the shore, the goat will eat the carrot. Help the hunter by finding a way to bring all the three things to the other side of the river.
Clue – the hunter will have to make lots of trips back and forth across the river. You might find it easier to draw a diagram.
If you think you can solve it, or you have a puzzle of your own, please email [email protected]
Good luck!
