Click on the link (It will come up in Japanese writing.) THEN Click on the BLUE circle.

Apparently, this is an IQ test given to job applicants in Japan.

"Everybody has to cross the river".

The following rules apply:

* Only 2 people on the raft at a time.
* The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence.
* The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence.
* The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the Policeman (in the cap) is not there.
* Only the Father, Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.

To start, click on the BIG BLUE CIRCLE on the right side of the screen.
To move the people, click on them.
To move the raft, click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

When you get the answer, share it,

I did it, took them all to the other side and they all start waving but can't explain how i did it!
