Puzzle :
Consider there are 10 soldiers on the one side of
the river. They need to go to the over side of the rever. There is no
bridge in the rever and no one can swin in the rever. One of the
soldiers spots the boat with two boys inside. The boat is very small and
the boys in the boats also very small. The boat can either hold two
boys or one soldier. Now tell me how can all soldiers go to the other
side of the river using this boat ?
Answer :
First you have the two boys take the boat to one side of
the river and leave a boy on that side of the river. One boy takes the
boat back to the other side and stands on the shore. Then a soldier gets
in the boat and rides it to the other side. When he arrives on the
other side, then the boy gets in the boat and takes it back to the other
side and picks up the other boy. They ride back to the other shore and
drop off one of the boys and continue this process until all the
soldiers are on the other side of the river.
