  1. Neat puzzle. That kept me thinking for a while… I didn’t quite realise the true significance of two of the party until much later than i should have. :)

  4. dear Nariv

    i done solve this “river crossing” had fun though,. I spend some time solving it and now i heard that the is an updated version of this game. The number of characters has jumped from 8 ( Cop Robber, Mum 2 Daughters, Dad 2 Sons) to 11 characters. The updated has all the above number of people/characters (8) AS WELL as Grandpa, Grandma and their Dog. Have you heard of such puzzle or know someone who may know. The concept is that both Grandparents will die if they are left apart and the dog is MAD, it bites if the Grandparents are not there to look after.

    Would appreciate it if you could kindly reply.

    many thanks

  5. sheesh, i tried at this for ages, and i just cant get it, even though i solved it last week. I am frustrated that i could do it one day but not the next. Perhaps this is an example of how alcohol affects ones mental capacity.
