If you know this one, please don't spoil it!!! :)

There was a man taking his pets ( a bird, a monkey, and a crocodile) for a walk and they had to cross a brigde. The bird coouldn't fly, the monkey couldn't climb the trees and the crocodile couldn't swin (pretty messed up pets, huh? lol) The man could only take one animal across a t a time. He couldn't leave the crocodilee alone with the bird or monkey and he coulcn't leave the monkey and bird along either. So what did they do?
(it isn't a trick question, and it is not realy a joke, but more of a question that makes you think, but I like it a lot.) :yes:

I don't want people to answer it unless, they are just guessing. Because then other people won't be able to guess. :cool: :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

They don't have to swim, climb, or fly to get across a bridge. All they have to do is walk across and none of them are left alone.

Turns out the monkey and the bird can be left alone and they can not go across the bridge all together instead of one at a time. :o :D :o Sorry 'bout that!!!!

Can you take one to the middle then go back for another 1?

Working it out...

So, the bird can't be left with the croc, the croc can't be left with the monkey...

1.Take the croc across, leave the other two.
2.Go back across alone, take the bird across.
3.Go back with the croc, take the monkey across.
4.Go back alone, take the croc across.

I think. :confused:

Well, you said that you couldn't leave the croc with anything nor could you leave the bird and monkey alone. So taking the croc across leaves the monkey and bird together. Then back alone. Then take the bird across. Then take the croc back to the start line. Back across with the monkey and then go get the croc.

Well, in the process you've broken one rule many times. Can't leave the bird alone or the monkey alone. Done each once now. Monkey left alone when you took the bird across and returned with the croc, and the bird left alone when you took the croc back and returned with the monkey.

So I don't get it... The answer that is "correct" doesn't fit the rules laid out.

I've heard the same type of thing with a bunch of lettuce, a rabbit and a dog. You can carry one thing at a time. Can't leave the rabbit with the lettuce, can't leave the dog with the rabbit.

But yeah, I don't think that the question was right... the dog, rabbit and lettuce would have been more accurate, and more challenging.

That is why I changed it.

You haven't read it properly, she changed it. Granted, the changed one wasn't really correct, but I did it to the edit.
