This classic logic puzzle requires a farmer to transport a wolf, goat, and cabbage across a river using a boat that carries only one item at a time, with the constraint that the wolf cannot be left alone with the goat (wolf eats goat) and the goat cannot be left alone with the cabbage (goat eats cabbage). The solution involves seven trips: first take the goat across, return alone, take the wolf across, bring the goat back, take the cabbage across, return alone, and finally take the goat across. This puzzle, originally created by Alcuin of York around 800 AD, tests deductive reasoning and problem-solving skills.
