One of the versions of this logic puzzle uses archaeologists and cannibals.

I have seen it with wolves and sheep or something like that.

Anyone that has ever watched the Walking Dead series, can see the resemblance of the folks shambling across the golf course daily to the zombies on the show. Taking that into consideration, how would you discern the difference between Villagers and cannibals?

The boat can’t cross the river by itself, someone has to be in it to row it across.
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

The Villagers take out their concealed carry weapons and shoot the cannibals and cross the river at their leisure.

Yes, I have seen it in various forms as well. Just not with a random third group of people introduced willy-nilly.

No thanks. I don't think unless I have to.
