Guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 If the policeman is a kid too (certainly looks like that), then the solution would be that mom crosses the thief (which looks like a girl to me) first (thief is then alone, and causes no trouble), then dad crosses the policeman (policeman guards thief, so there will be no trouble), after that, each of the parents can simply cross any of the kids of their own gender. ) On the last pass, mom and dad cross together. The other alternative would be to turn it around completely, crossing the thief last, and the policeman right before that. But I must admit I didn't play the game at all... Think I'll try that now... (EDIT: the policeman is an adult, as the question states... dumb me! This all goes down the drain!) (2nd EDIT, after playing the game) Man, is my solution flawed... It can be done, but it's easy to make mistakes with this one if you're not careful... BoilingOil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Did you know that some HR managers in japan and china use this riddle to find the peoples IQ Yes. It is believed that this test is solved in around 15mins (in Japan). I got this puzzle couple of months back and it was easy for me to solve. But some of my friends found it difficult to solve. I like these kind of puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
