The object of this test is to get all the people on the other side of the river using the raft.

 

To start, click on blue circle.

 

Here are the rules:

 

1. Only 2 persons on the raft at a time

2. The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence.

3. The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father's presence.

4. The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there.

5. Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.

6. To move the people click on them.

7. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

 

Enjoy.

Ah ok - the rules count a move as a "sailing" !

That old problem again. I can even remember it being covered in one of my college math classes. Of course, the easiest answer is to kung fu kick anyone who has a problem with anyone else and carry them all across at the same time while unconscious.

But the raft will sink db #39;(

[volvofl10]

how the fook did you manage to translate the rules from slant eye to english /

 

i think you might have made a mistake in the translation. My local chinese takeaway dood tells me it says NOT to put all the whole family in danger by putting them onto German/Triad controlled territory .

you will notice that he was right, as when they all land and get initiated, they all start doing then German Triad salute

 

besides, the thief looks like daughter #3 to me

[dbminter]

But the raft will sink db #39;(

 

 

Okay, then. Kung fu kick everyone unconscious, take the raft yourself, and row like Hell for freedom, SWEET, SWEET FREEDOM!

I have an A level in Japanese volvo :smartass:

[volvofl10]

spose you got a degree in paddling rafts as well then ?

[dbminter]

While I was briefly incarcerated in mental hospital, I took up paddling rafts weaving. I thought weaving baskets was a little too cliche, you know?
