You need to get a goat a cabbage and wolf over to the other side of the river you must take them in a boat but can only take 1 at a time how do you get all 3 to the other side safely?

The puzzle posits that you have a wolf, a goat, and cabbage to get across the river, but only one of them at a time. If you leave the wolf with the goat, it will eat the goat. If you leave the goat with the cabbage, it will eat the cabbage.

As with all puzzles of the type, it involves crossing multiple times with the central object (the goat) so that it is always alone. The first crossing takes the goat across, and returns. On the second crossing, either the wolf or the cabbage goes across, but the goat is brought back to the original side of the river. Then the other item (cabbage or wolf) goes safely across and finally a 4th trip to bring the goat for good.

This puzzle was part of the Poptropica quest of Nabooti island, where it used a fox, a chicken, and some feed. The solution was identical to the above, where once the crossing begins, the chicken is always either in the boat or by itself.
