There are 8 people who have to cross the river on a raft.
1. Policeman 2. Thief 3. Father 4. Boy 1 5. Boy 2 6. Mother 7. Girl 1 8. Girl 2
The rules are:
Only two people can cross at a time. Only the adults can operate the raft. The father can’t be with the girls unless the mother is there. The mother can’t be with the boys unless the father is there. The thief can’t remain with anyone unless the policeman is present.
