A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing at a time. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?

If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?

1. Gets the chicken across
2. Gets the corn across and brings back the chicken on the way back
3. Leaves the chicken and brings the fox across
4. Comes back and gets the chicken across
5. Wonders why the heck he doing carrying a fox around

What do I get?

Makes chicken and sweetcorn sandwich. No drama. Just a man, a fox and a boat having a seemingly innocuous time... however, beneath the facade of smiles and play there is a dark sinister feeling brewing in the man's heart when, after months of river boating, the fox starts to look inviting....

Correct!

You get another Brian Twister!

In 1990, a person is 15 years old. In 1995 that same person is 10 years old. How is this possible?

**robstamps** · 09-01-2007, 08:46 AM

1. Grind the corn
2. Make tortillas
3. Slaughter the chicken
4. Chicken quesedillas! Yum
5. Kill the fox
6. Fox stole! Bonus points at home

**CreativeSuiteDown** · 09-01-2007, 01:08 PM

Trick question.
The Pacific was discovered (well, named it anyway) by Ferdinand Magellan, not Balboa.

**TiepayWrary** · 09-01-2007, 01:12 PM

lol. ive got one:

what was the largest ocean in the world before balboa discovered the pacific?

Rocky Balboa was a seafarer?

**HRS1H7gO** · 09-01-2007, 02:02 PM

I believe that Magellan wanted to name this "new" body of water "the Ocean". His first officer noted that the Spanish government would want something more specific, so Magellan named it "the Specific Ocean".

Prior to this, the largest ocean would have been when Pangea existed - a single continent;　therefore a single ocean.

Do I win?

**nancywind** · 09-01-2007, 02:36 PM

The ocean coming from Noah's deluge.
Alcohol makes me religious. I'm very religious right now.

**BarBoss** · 09-01-2007, 02:39 PM

Surely the Pacific Ocean was there before someone discovered it.

Oroshi beat me to it.
