A farmer was going to town with a fox, a goose and a sack of corn. When he came to a stream, he had to cross in a tiny boat, and could only take across one thing at a time. However, if he left the fox alone with the goose, the fox would eat the goose, and if he left the goose alone with the corn, the goose would eat the corn. How does he get them all safely over the stream?


A man had twelve toothpicks in front of him. He took one away. Now he had nine in front of him. How is this possible?


What word is nine letters long, and can remain a word at each step as you remove one letter at a time, right down to a single letter? (It is part of the English language)
 
1) e,n,t ( the first letters of the numbers from one to ten
2) Take the corn first, then go back for the fox. Finally go back for the goose.
3)idk
4) Startling. Remove t =starling
l = staring
a =string
r = sting
t = sing
g = sin
s = in
n = I
 
e,n,t one, two three, four, etc

take the goose go back take the corn bring back the goose take the fox come back get the goose and return


you can spell the word NINE with eleven toothpicks
 
1. o t t f f s s e n t (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)

2. Take the goose over, leave it, go back, take the fox over, leave it,take the goose back, leave it, take the corn, leave it, go back and get the goose =)

3. The remaining 11 toothpicks formed the number 9

4
 
1. e for eight and n for nine
2. he takes the sack of corn there and leaves it then he takes the goose to the other side and takes the sack again. then he takes the fox to the other side and then takes the goose again then he leaves the goose from where they started and takes the corn to the other side. and then takes the goose.
3. They were arranged in such a way that the remaining 11 toothpicks formed the number 9.
4. startling
take out l = starting
take out t = staring
take out a = string
take out r = sting
take out t = sing
take out g = sin
take out s = in
take out n = I
