Default A man has a hen, a fox, and a bag of seed
He needs to take all three from the island to his ranch.

But his canoe can only manage one at a time.

Meaning that during one of his trips, either the fox will be left alone with the hen, or the hen will be left with the seed.

How can he successfully move all of the items, without anything getting eaten?

Answers in spoilers!!

Yes they are , it was only in terms of completing the task

But if you think about it the farmer wouldn’t want a fox hanging around his Farm in reality

You could always lay the bag of seed on top of the hen to shut it up and stop it flapping about like a nutter. **** the fox, if it wants to come it can bloody swim. Twat didnt even help me and chicken carry the canoe up to the river.

Eh chicken, aint that right.

Cluck off, you bastard, I dont fancy a picnic today.
The clucking towns been flooded for 3 days now you clucking maniac.
