Revenga Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I was Googling some riddles to give to you guys and look what I found. QUESTION: A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?
