Just For Fun
Suppose you are traveling with a
fox,
a goose and a mouse when you come to a large river. The only way to
cross
the river is with a raft that holds at most you and one animal.
Furthermore,
if left unattended by you, the fox will eat the goose and the goose will
eat the mouse. How many trips in the raft will it take to get you and
your
three pets across the river (alive)?
