^ I was thinking of that too. ^_^;

this is a pretty popular one that you have probably heard of;
"Objective: get the father, the two sons, the mother, the two daughters, a police officer and a thief across the other side of the riverbank.

but,
1. Only two persons on the raft at any 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 police officer is not there
5. Only the father, the mother and the police officer know how to operate the raft."

edit: random fact; this is sometimes given as an IQ test to job applicants in China. =P
