Hi, I've got a question for all of you.
-There is a river
-on one side are three things; 1. a sheep
                                                2. a carrot
                                                3. a wolf
-you are on a raft and need to get all of them to their destination.
-you can only transport one at the time
-you cant leave the sheep and the carrot together or the sheep will eat the carrot
-you cant leave the sheep and the wolf together or the wolf will eat the sheep
-how do you solve this problem??


Sheep             Carrot            Wolf

Kill the wolf and the sheep.  Bring them dead to the destination.  Have a nice rack of lamb and a beef and vegetable stew on the destination.  Problem solved.  And you're no longer hungry.   ??? ???  Really I don't know.

Take the sheep first.
Then take the carrot & bring back the sheep.
Then take the Wolf.
Return to get the sheep. Smiley

A wolf wouldn't eat a carrot right? ??? Grin

throw it against a wall so it bounces back to you and catch it  Grin or you could just throw it directly upwards into the air so technically it goes away from you but then falls back and you catch it  Grin

I'dd say it wouldn't Grin.
Because when the soundwaves aren't going to any ears to hear it, why would they travel in the forrest?
They'dd only get tired Grin.
Now  another question, if a deaf man/woman walks trough the forrest and a tree falls down. Would it make a sound then?? Grin

hmmm, good question, in theory it would because deaf people are very sensetive to vibrations that they can feel, like they can listen to music if they touch the source...so if it falls onto the ground the ground will shake therefore I think that it will make a sound  Grin I just hope that the person see's the tree as its falling  Tongue because if the tree falls on the person and the person happens to be killed...well dead people cant sense vibrations  Grin btw was that the right answer?
