Ok here it is ( Three missionaries and three cannibals must cross a river using a boat which can carry at most two people. At any point if there are missionaries present on the (either) bank, they cannot be out numbered by cannibals (if they were, the cannibals would eat the missionaries.) The boat cannot cross the river by itself with no people on board. Explain how to get everybody across the river alive.
 
simple, one missionary and one cannibal go across, the missionary returns, and repeat 2 more times. now all the cannibals are over. the missionary takes another missionary to the other side. they both get out, and a cannibal goes back. now there are two missionaries and two cannibals over. the third cannibal goes back and gets the last missionary
