There is a boat, however it can carry one person only. How can they each get to the other side of the river using the boat?   IP Logged aero_guy Senior Riddler     Gender: Posts: 513 Re: Crossing   « Reply #1 on: May 10th, 2003, 12:08pm » Quote Modify Use the boat like a bridge because the river is so small?  Use ropes to pull it back after the first one crosses?  Have one person hold onto the boat to stay afloat, though not actually enter it?
