IQ test Increase the size of your Attachments

This basic IQ test has been around for ages but this one has a new twist to it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Everybody has to cross the river."



The IQ test rules are:



1. Only 2 persons on the raft at a time



2. The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence



3. The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father's presence



4. The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there



5. Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft



6. To move the people click on them.



7. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.



** It can be done **



Go to this website: http://freeweb.siol.net/danej/riverIQGame.swf



To start, click on blue circle.

Is understanding Japanese (or whatever language that is) part of the test?

No, you just have to get everyone across the river. The rules are written in English in the OP.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

It is odd. Unless there is more than one solution, I am compelled to leave the thief alone on both banks at some point or other. The theif is willing to beat up any family member, but is honest enough to not run away?

My problem came once I had three kids on the other side. I don't remember how I got around that problem, so I played the game again. Again, I got around the problem...but I still don't remember how.

Increase Your PM Length

This actually isn't that great a problem. If you diagram it out as a pathfinding problem, ignoring the obviously looping choices, it takes 8 moves to reach a branching point - and once you determine the next two moves, you're basically done.

The obvious symmetry in this problem reduces its complexity to a very low level.

I havent bothered clicking on the link yet as the letters 'I.Q' put me off - but isn't that just like a human version of that old kids' things about the chicken and fox and grain on a raft? The one the average 7 year old could figure out? At least that one made sense as it followed the basic laws of nature/food chain etc.
