How logical are you?

I stole this from my friend Deanne's blog...
It's supposedly a logic test given to Japanese job applicants. The goal is to solve it in under 7 minutes. The first time took me about 9 minutes and the second time 6 minutes. Once you get it the first time it's pretty easy to do it again. Anyway, it's kinda fun. :) Enjoy!

Rules of the Game:

The object is to get all of the people across the river on the raft.

  • Only 2 people on the raft at a time.
  • The Father cannot stay with any of the daughters, without their Mother's presence.
  • The Mother cannot stay with any of the sons, without their Father's presence.
  • The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member, if the Policeman is not there.
  • Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.

Clearly I'm not as logical as you are... I can't figure it out for the life of me. I'm sure the beer and lack of sleep don't help, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible.

Unfortunuatly, I have already completed this logic test before.

Cristy and I have a book we bought at an airplane bookstore that has logical puzzles--we really enjoy it. We will try and remember to bring it.
