Here is something to keep you busy for a while.

http://freeweb.siol.net/danej/riverIQGame.swf

Click on link, and then click on the big blue circle. Use the rules below.

This is going to do your head in, but it can be done.

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

"Everybody has to cross the river".

The following rules apply:

Only 2 persons on the raft at a time

The father can not stay with any of the daughters, without their mother's presence

The mother can not stay with any of the sons, without their father's presence

The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member,if The Policeman is not there

Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft

To start click on the big blue circle on the right.

To move the people click on them.

To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

It did drive me nuts.. until my son finally with much patience, told his poor old mama how to do it.

I have the puzzle key if I can find it in my files.. but I will wait to post it until you all are crazzzzy..

I tried once again to do this...
DANG IT!!!
I had the answers that Danny gave me, on how to do it.. all in nice long order.. and I'll be jiggered if I can find them..
I give up!
This just drives me crazy stuff like this..
I say give them all life jackets and let them swim across on their own..

Has anyone been able to do it???

Teresa,

You said that "Everybody has to cross the river", but do they have to stay over there? Can they cross it once then come back and it counts as "They have crossed the river"?

Nope, you have to get them all to the other side and have them stay there.

Teresa · February 14, 2006, 06:07:53 PM

Ya see... this CAN be done.
I ..of course...being of old feeble mind and wrinkled skin, couldn't do it then.. nor can I do the damned thing now.!
BUT!!
Danny called me and patiently gave me step by step on how to do it about 2 weeks ago..
I have since lost the answers. ( I TOLD you I was feeble minded)
There is LOTS and LOTS of steps to it.. You have to take over some and bring back one ..then take over one more then 2 have to come back.. and this goes on and on...
but finally you get all the non swimming imbeciles over there. lol

ooohhhhhhh the stress of it all.

***mumbling to myself as I dig around in my desk..**
Why can't I find those answers.. I have to find them .. I KNOW they're here somewhere.
WHERE ARE THOSE ANSWERS!!
