Granted that you've been given a tough task of having to ferry three things;a hungry lion, a hungry goat and afreshly up-rooted tuber of cassava to safety.You are to transport them individually to the other side of the river. How would you do that successfully, considering the fact that if you try to transport the lion first, the goat and the cassava are left behind and you can just imagine what the hungry goat would do to the cassava. Also if you try to convey the tuber of cassava to the other first, the lion will pounce on the poor goat. So tell me, just how do you get the three goods to the other side of the river peacefully?http://www.englishforums.com/English/Riddle/lkrzc/post.htm#968079Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:44:54 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:968079califjim1 a m p 2 l a p 3 d a r 4 s t i n g 5 s Paris??

Okay, I must say that I feel we've been taken advantage of. Maybe I've misunderstood again, but it seems as though you have deliberately posted an ambiguous sentence, and then, after three people attempted to answer what we all took to be the obvious meaning of the sentence, you answer your own question by revealing that the original sentence had a different meaning -- one that never even occurred to any of the people who took the time to try to help you.
