Help This Farmer Solve This Problem by xynerise(op): 4:42pm On Dec 17, 2009
A farmer has a lion a goat and a yam. He wants to cross a bridge that cannot hold more than 100kg. Assuming the man,the goat and the lion are 50kg each while the yam is 25kg. How will the man cross the bridge without living the prey with its predator behind? If he crosses with lion first , he may come back to see his goat eating his yam. This is very simple if you think well.

Firstly, he will cross the bridge with the goat leaving the lion and the yam behind. He will then come back for the lion leaving the yam behind, On getting to the side of the bridge where both the lion and goat are, he will take the goat back with him to join the yam. He will now take them yam to the other side of the bridge to join the lion before coming back for the goat.

^^^ would it make any difference if the goat is a ram?

Well, if it's a ram goat, then it's a posibility the goat can "hump" the lion. In this case, the farmer don't have to make an extra trip across the bridge. He can simply lift-up the lion while the ram goat is humping it and put the yam in his pocket.

Did you take note of the weight?

Yes. Study shows that after intimating (lol@intimating), you lose weight. (burn calories) Hence the lion and the goat (assuming it's a ram goat) are lighter.
