The river crossing puzzle
Posted on June 9th, 2009 by Sandeep in PuzzleFive men and five boys have to cross the Ganga River to attend a birthday party. They have only one row boat with them. Because of the small size of the row boat, the boat can not carry more than one man, or more than two boys. Thus, a man riding with a boy would not be possible. What would be the least number of boat trips that would take everyone to the other shore?
