What plan can the Villagers use for crossing the river so they don’t get eaten?
Note that if a boat with a cannibal and a Villager travels to a shore with one cannibal on it, then number of cannibals is greater than number of Villagers, even if you say the Villager immediately takes the boat back.
Answer coming soon.
Question 2 - Who are the three Villagers!!!! LOL

This is a trick question.
No self-respecting cannibal would EVER eat a Villager. Too tough.
