A man is traveling with a fox and two chickens, if he leaves the fox alone with the chickens the fox will eat the chickens. He comes to a river and needs to cross it, he finds a small boat that can carry only him and one animal, how does he get himself, the fox and two chickens across the river safely?
Take the fox over, return with nothing. Go over with one chicken, return with the fox. Go over with the second chicken, return with nothing. Finally, take the fox over.
He takes over the fox first, cause the chickens won’t eat each other, then goes back for a chicken and crosses the river with one of the chickens. He then picks up the fox again, takes it back across the river, picks the other chicken up and takes across to the other chicken, then finally goes back and comes back with the fox.
He will go over with the fox and return with nothing then he will go back to the chickens and bring one he will go to the other side of the river and return with the fox he will leave the fox there then bring the last chicken he will return with nothing lastley he will bring the fox

1: M/F
2: M –>
3: M/C1
4: M/F –>
5: M/C2

Buy livestocks insurance, then barbecue the chickens and blame the fox. Result: Money and a great Barbecue

This one is pretty obvious: First buy livestock insurance, then barbecue the chickens and blame the fox. Duh!
