It was a warm sunny day, and next to the river were two foxes that needed to get to the other side. It was too deep to walk across, too wide to swim across, but luckily there was a small boat able to take one fox at a time. The boat needed a fox in it to steer it across but will sink if two foxes were both on it. They crossed the river successfully. How?
Answer: They were on opposite sides of the river to start with, so the first fox crossed in the boat and handed it over to the 2nd fox to make the journey across, but in the other direction.
