Probability Questions? Maybe?


Back in grade school we used to have like riddle questions/probability questions like ... you have 3 people on one side of an island, they all must get to the other side, but the boat can only hold 250lbs. at one time and the boat can only handle making two trips before it'll break-apart... one of the people weighs 175bs. another 120lbs. and the final 75lbs. how will they all get across (or something along the lines of that) does anyone know what they're called or web-sites where you can get those kinds of questions? Thanks!!

Thanks but I wasn't looking for an answer to the riddle I wrote ... I was looking for an answer to WHAT KIND of riddle/question that is called.

They're often called brain teasers. Here are a couple of sites:

Have fun!

1st trip: 75 lb + 175 lb; at the destination 175 lb lands and 75 lb takes the boat back to the original island
2nd trip: 75 lb + 120 lb sail to the destination

Alternatively:
1st trip: 75 lb + 120 lb; at the destination 125 lb lands and 75 lb takes the boat back to the original island
2nd trip: 75 lb + 175 lb sail to the destination
