Description The N version of an old problem.
A farmer is trying to get his fox, his hen and his grain to market across a river. He has one boat that will carry himself and, if he wishes, a maximum of one other animal/item. If the hen is left alone with th grain it will eat it. If the fox is left alone with the hen then the fox will eat the hen. (The fox can be left alone with the grain). Can you get all three animals over the river?

This map is quie easy. You are practically led to the goal the whole way. Do not attempt to get all the gold, It is impossible (and sometimes it will trap you). It can be solved in two different ways. The three main paths count as the fox, hen and grain (in that order) to bring something across the \\\"river\\\" Go down the path of the item you want to take in the direction you want to take it. To cross the river without taking anything, take one of the paths going from the very top of the screen to the very bottom.

Feel free to try and make this more challenging (and by that I mean a harder puzzle to complete as a maze, not \\\"add a whole load of enemies and mines etc.) or to make it more simply.

Cool!

Yes, astro, they are one and the same. As for the map, very creative and well thought-out use of 4-D doors. I like it!

Yes

Yes it is. I first heard it as fox hen and grain though.

Isn't this another version of the goat, wolf, and cabbage?
