  • redhorse10 (Age 13) wrote on Tuesday, 17 August 2010 @ 12:54

    i agree with waxa, you take the goat across and then the grass. Then you take the goat back, and take the lion to the other side. Then finally, you take the goat back!

  • balloonie (Age 12) wrote on Sunday, 5 September 2010 @ 16:47

    the answer is: he takes the goat then the grass then he takes the goat back, takes the lion then finally the goat!

    Take the goat across and then go back and get the grass. Take the grass across and then on your way back bring the goat. Leave the goat at the first place and pick up the lion. Take the lion across , then come back for the goat.
