No wonder the Chinese are so progressive

This is an IQ test given to job applicants in China: "Everybody has to cross the river".

The following rules apply:

1. Only 2 persons on the raft at a time

2. The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence

3. The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father's presence

4. The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there

5. Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft

6. To start click on the big blue circle on the right.

7. To move the people click on them.

8. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

Let the game begin !!

I sent it to my mate last night and was telling him how to do it, then I realised that I had forgotten how to do it

**osarusan** · 18/12/2006, 2:59 PM

Right, I've been silent about this for a couple of days, because a number of people got this much more quickly than me, and I could never admit that.

However, I've just finished it, which means I am a genius and everybody who can't do it is a fool.

**Drumcondra Red** · 18/12/2006, 4:31 PM

I too am now a genius!!!

Of sorts...

What kind of Chinese family has four kids? I'm not sure about the intelligence of any game that requires that you leave a child and then a criminal alone on a river bank to solve it, but maybe I'm being a bit picky. Heck, if the parents are that dodgy, I guess the kid's fairly used to being on its own.

these things are simple here is another:

a piece of string with unequal density burns out in 1 min, how do you know when 30 seconds has burned. remember the string is of unequal density i.e. unequal thickness throughout.
