Hot off the internet!:scholar:

4) A man wants to transport a fox, a chicken and some corn across a river. He has a rowboat, but it can only carry the man and one other item. If the fox and the chicken are alone together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn are alone together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?

I remember something like that from school, so it was fairly easy to figure it out, I sort of did the same steps as Sam in my head :)
