QUESTION # 74


Four Adventurers and a Small Canoe


The Puzzle:
Four adventurers (Alex, Brook, Chris and Dusty)
need to cross a river in a small canoe.
The canoe can only carry 100kg.

Alex weighs 90kg,
Brook weighs 80kg,
Chris weighs 60kg
and Dusty weighs 40 kg,
and they have 20kg of supplies. ... How do they get across?

 

[Daughter of His]

Alex takes half of the supplies and has a rope tied to the canoe, they pull it back.

Next Chris and Dusty make their way to the other side and Brooke uses the same rope to pull the canoe back to her side.

Brooke and the other half of the supplies make their way to join the others.

oops
Sorry Sis'

This is also, not the correct answer

The supplies [travel as-is... ie: 20 Kg]
There is one or more persons in the canoe, on ALL journeys [the canoe is always occupied]

Please, try again

#74 - Brook, with the supplies, rows to the centre of the river, which is narrow enough to reach each side with the oars. He rests each oar on each bank, and the others slide themselves across on the oars.

Sorry Sue,
As I have already mentioned....
ALL, use the canoe to transport themselves and those supplies across the river

iow: there IS, a sequence [turns] that they use to accomplish the crossing

From this moment... The 'prize' is doubled for the Correct Answer

2,000 BLESSINGS will be 'promised' (IOU) to 'the provider' of that answer

I will supply the answer myself, on Sunday, if the prize hasn't been claimed

This is a real puzzler Dave, but I'm enjoying trying to work it out.

Go for it Sue Sis'

No... they __do-not__ "lose weight first"

Clue:
several trips, are made in the canoe [by two persons] with, one returning


But this, is all the clue I can give without revealing HOW

I hope you get it

Alex is on the opposite bank, so Chris and Dusty cross together, Alex crosses back and Brook crosses with the supplies?

This, post reveals that you are thinking so-hard
that the puzzle itself has been forgotten

¬v

You should assume
the adventurers, set out together
and the river is their obstacle [?]

If no correct-answer is forthcoming
I will post the solution tomorrow AFTER-MIDDAY my time

 

[rebornfree]

Unless they strengthen the canoe to carry more weight, I'm stumped!! I look forward to reading the answer tomorrow Dave! It's been a good puzzle.

Thank you Sue Sis'

I am sure that once you read, 'HOW' they accomplished it
you will wonder WHY it is, that you didn't see it... "right off the bat"

It is very clever ... AND actually; very 'logical' [in fact]
