It's only 20 days until my birthday!!! And since I'm hopeless at Wuzzles, unlike Emma I will go back to like, trivia questions and ponder stuff. Ready or not, here I come.
- Rusty is in a dark room where outside it's snowing, and the temperature is way below freezing. He has a match in his hand. There is a fire place full of logs, an oil lamp and a candle. Which should he light first to keep from freezing?
- A farmer goes to market and buys a chicken, chicken feed, and a fox. He has only one boat that can carry only him and one other item. He must get all three purchases to his island. However, He can't leave the chicken with the feed because the chicken will eat the feed. He can't leave the fox with the chicken because the fox will (DUH) eat the chicken. How does he get all three of them to the island??

1. hehe i kno this one... he should light the match!
2. ooh and we had this sort of problem as a math challenge a few years back. So the farmer should take the chicken first and leave it on the island. then go back and grab the fox and take it across, but once he drops off the fox, he has to take the chicken back across. then on the other side, he leaves the chicken and grabs the feed, and takes that across the river. After dropping that off, the fox and feed should be on the new island, so then he goes back and grabs the chicken to take it across. yay! legit!
he can leave the fox with the feed, can't he?
