The Boy, Tiger, & Goat RiddleThe Riddle Question The Riddle Answer The Riddle
A boy has a tiger, a goat, and some greens that he must take into town to be sold. To get to town he must cross a river. He cannot go around, under, or fly over the river. He must cross the river with a raft and he can only take ONE thing or animal at a time with him across. However, he cannot leave the tiger with the goat because the goat will get eaten and he cannot leave the goat with the greens as the greens will get eaten. The only two that can be left together are the tiger and the greens. The boy can make as many trips as he wishes and we assume that nothing gets eaten when the boy is with them. How does the boy get all of his cargo including himself across the river safely?
  
The boy takes the goat across the river leaving the tiger and the greens together. When he gets to the other side, he leaves the goat there and comes back. He then gets the greens and takes them across the river. He then leaves the greens there and takes the goat back with him. He leaves the goat on the original side of the riverbank and gets the tiger and brings it across, leaving it on the other side with the greens, then goes back for the goat.
