You take the goat to the other side so the cabbage and wolf are alone.
Then you go back to the side where the wolf and cabbage are.
You take the cabbage and go to the other side where the goat is.
You leave the cabbage but take the goat back to the side where the wolf is.
Then you leave the goat and take the wolf to the other side so the wolf and cabbage are alone again.
Then you go back and get the goat and take it to the side where the wolf and the cabbage are.

∙ 10y agoThe riddle, for those reading this who haven't heard of it beforehand, goes something like this:
A farmer has to get his sheep, a cabbage (or wheat, or whatever), and a wolf (or fox, or whatever) across a river. He has a boat that will take him and one animal at a time.
However, if he leaves the sheep along with the cabbage, the sheep will eat it. Likewise, he must not leave the sheep with the wolf, or the wolf will eat it. Everything is fine, as long as he is with all three- but he must take into account both sides of the river and not leave any two of the three mentioned behind together.
The animals, cabbage, farmer, and boat are all on one side to start with.
Now, if you want to solve this on your own, stop reading!I will give the answer below. And yes, you can figure it out for yourself without too much trouble.The cabbage, naturally, can't eat anything. And the wolf won't eat the cabbage. So, if the farmer takes the sheep across to the other side, no eating will occur.
Next, he should go back in the boat (with only himself on the boat, leaving the sheep alone on the other side- which, in this puzzle, carries no risk).
He should then take the wolf to the other side and then take back the sheep. The wolf is now alone on one side, and the farmer, boat, sheep and cabbage on the other. But the sheep, we've established, won't eat the cabbage while the farmer is watching over it.
Next, the farmer brings the cabbage to the other side- now the wolf is with the cabbage and the sheep is again alone, but on the side it started out on.
From there, the farmer can just go back, take the sheep, and bring it to the other side along with an uneaten cabbage and a hungry (now disappointed) wolf.

What is La chèvre de M Seguin?
'la chèvre de monsieur Seguin' is a story from Alphonse Daudet about Mr Seguin's goat. The goat is well treated and has all it want, but it is not free. She pleads for some liberty and wants to get to the mountain. Mr Seguin tells it off, talking about the dangers of the mountain, and about the wolf. When the goat escapes, it takes to the mountain and roams wildly, happy until the evening when the wolf kills it.

If i have a boat and i can only fit 1 thing in the boat how can you bring a wolf a goat and a piece of cabbage safely across to land?
easy, one at a time. First you bring the sheep over and tie him to something, then you go back and get the wolf and the cabbage. This riddle usually involves 3 things that can't fit in the boat at the same time, perhaps the cabbage should be a bale of hay.
You need to get a goat a cabbage and wolf over to the other side of the river you must take them in a boat but can only take 1 at a time how do you get all 3 to the other side safely?
The puzzle posits that you have a wolf, a goat, and cabbage to get across the river, but only one of them at a time. If you leave the wolf with the goat, it will eat the goat. If you leave the goat with the cabbage, it will eat the cabbage.As with all puzzles of the type, it involves crossing multiple times with the central object (the goat) so that it is always alone. The first crossing takes the goat across, and returns. On the second crossing, either the wolf or the cabbage goes across, but the goat is brought back to the original side of the river. Then the other item (cabbage or wolf) goes safely across and finally a 4th trip to bring the goat for good.This puzzle was part of the Poptropica quest of Nabooti island, where it used a fox, a chicken, and some feed. The solution was identical to the above, where once the crossing begins, the chicken is always either in the boat or by itself.
