Want to solve a riddle?


O.K.
A group of travelers come to a river that they need to cross.
There is a raft which is only large enough to carry 2 people at a time.


The group is made up of:
An Indian woman with 2 young daughters,
A Cowboy with 2 young sons,
A policeman and his prisoner.


Only the woman, the cowboy and the policeman can operate the raft.
The prisoner can never be in the presence of anyone else unless the policeman is also present.
The cowboy can never be in the presence of 1 or both daughters unless the woman is also present.
The woman can never be in the presence of 1 or both sons unless the cowboy is also present.


Your job? Get them all safely across without breaking any of the rules.


Need some help? You will find the answer here

Cordially,
Sir Richard, Lord of the Manor
