Can you solve the river crossing riddle? - Lisa Winer
View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-sol...
As a wildfire rages through the grasslands, three lions and three wildebeest flee for their lives. To escape the inferno, they must cross over to the left bank of a crocodile-infested river. Can you help them figure out how to get across on the one raft available without losing any lives? Lisa Winer shows how.

This is the frog and the scorpion in wildabeast and lions. In the end nobody wins. Once the lions were busy packing each other across the river all by themselves and everybody else was already on the safe side of the river they should have took off. Left the Lions by themselves.

The lions can't eat the wildebeests if they are stuck on the other side. You could probably assume that the wildebeests will not come back for the lions if they are all on the other side with no lion to row back the boat.

There is an additional valid option after 9 crossings (2 lions and 3 wildebeests on the left bank, one lion on the right bank). The video proposes to send a lion back on the 10th crossing but the equally valid option is to send a wildebeest back. In both cases just take both animals to the left bank on the 11th crossing.

This is one of those riddles that isn't really hard to solve, it's just tedious. There aren't any tricks or parts you need to think hard on, it just takes a lot of route checking and elimination. The riddle asks "What's the FASTEST way to get everyone to the other side" but once you start looking at the choices at each step of the way, you realize there's only one way that works.
My solution : 🦁🦁 🦁> 🦁🦁 🦁> There is now 1🦁 and 3🦓(yeah it's a zebra I know) on the bad side of the river, and 2🦁 on the good side. 🦓🦓 🦁🦓> Now, there is 1🦁 and 1🦓 on the good side, and 2🦁 and 2🦓 on the bad side. 🦓🦓 Now, we can't send back a wilbeest, because it's gonna get eaten if we send it alone, and if we send two it's the same thing but in reverse. 🦁> 🦁🦁 🦁> 🦁🦁 We now have all six animald on the good side of the river.

They have to help out their homies. They made a deal. Lions might eat wildebeests, but when they give someone their word they always honor it. Plus, they know if everyone gets across they will each have a whole wildebeest to themselves, and that beats having to share wildebeests. Would you want to eat 1/3 of a wildebeest, or 2/3 of 2 wildebeests, when you could eat a whole one? Of course not.

Me learning trigonometry in school : Easy! Me trying to solve this riddle : Damn this is hard!
We had this riddle in middle school once, though it was slightly different. There were 3 things to keep track of. Goats, wolves and cabbages. Each group had 2 members. You needed to take all of them across a river but your boat could only carry 3 things and because you need to be on the boat to control it, only 2 things can be on it. Same rules as the video. If there are less cabbages then goats the goats will eat the cabbages. If there are less goats as wolves the wolves will eat the goats. It doesn't matter if the cabbages and the wolves are left together because the wolves won't eat them. This one is waaay harder
@PickAPocky
7 ай бұрын
This seems to be much easier than the river crossing riddle. You can just take both of the goats and leave them on other side then go back to take both cabbages and leave them there (now there are 2 of both goats and cabbages on one side) and then go back again to get both wolves.
Answer: animals wouldn't know how to use the raft and they all die. The end.

Animals: can cooperate with a raft and surviving a wildfire Me: can't even build Legos with my sister
Took me a while, but I actually solved this one. I ended up with the second solution, and it was easy halfway through because I realized since I'd ended up with a wildebeest and lion on both sides and on the raft, I just had to do the first half of the solution in reverse.
A better solution is for 2 wildebeest to go across on the first trip, leaving 1 wildebeest to be eaten by the lions who will then be killed by the forest fire, which will greatly increase the chances of the wildebeest genome continuing in a lion-free environment - survival of the fittest.

I don't know if it would take longer but I had a separate idea that I think would work. One wildebeast would stay on the raft the whole time. First it would bring one of the other wildebeasts over, then go back and bring the third. Next trip it gets a lion (note although at this point it would be outnumbered, same for the next point, it wouldn't die because: raft. And although this is kind of a weak point in my version, I think, played right, it would work.). This puts two lions on one side and two wildebeasts and a lion on the other. The next trip evens them out, so still good. And on the final trip both the last wildebeast and lion get off, so still even. I know its not as good as the real answer, and has a lower success/survival rate, but it's what I came up with.

Joshua Okparaocha crocodiles will eat their tails
I translated this and posted this riddle in a type of school newspaper forum. (Ted ed wasn't so popular back then so no-one new this video, also this vid is in English so when you try to search it in my language this vid wouldn't come up). Alot of people tried to solve it, and many people made the mistake of thinking a wilderbeast will from the lions because it is on the raft. This is something that i think should be made clearer
If it weren't for the lions darn instincts, they could do it in 9 trips😁

Why 9? I thought it was 5. You count trip back as one or sth

It would have been 5, one stay on the raft and paddle the rest
The ending reminds me of human history. Sad.

The wielderbeast can survive without lions, but lions are the exploiter class and depend on killing wielderbeasts to sustain themselves.
I like that the lion's snooper is on the side of its head

I gotta say that is a *really* patient wildfire.
A great tip for this solution is that the moves are symmetrical. This means that after the 6th move, you just mirror image the first 5 moves and get there without any thought whatsoever.

The Lions are giant Idiots. I could understand if they wanted to save their lion buddys but at crossing 3 all the lions are on the save side. You can' t tell me, they would go back to the fire, only to save some animals they can' t even eat.. :D
I feel so fulfilled to have correctly figured this out
These kinds of riddles are always easy to solve.
by the time there finished thinking about who's going to be across the river the would already become medium rare
There happens to be a 'random' raft :/

As far as I can tell, you would need them to be safe on the raft for 4 to work, including when a swap-over is happening. 5 I’m fairly sure needs a 3 man raft

This is a classic Computer Science problem. We had to solve it with a program accepting 2 inputs. Number of Pairs of Lions/Wildebeast. And size of the Boat. 3,2 was the base problem. It had to calculate unique solutions. I did it over a weekend.
The lions had a bad hair day.
