Brain Teaser Competition - Mood + Usertitle Free Account Upgrade

[anthony]

I will be running these periodically over the next 24hr period... stay tuned, randomly posted.

The first person who solves this brain teaser successfully, get the free account upgrades:

You have:

1. Fox
2. Chicken
3. Bag of grain

The problem: You must cross a river with only one at a time. You must get all to the other side safely.

Complications:

1. If you leave the fox with the chicken, it will eat it.
2. If you leave the chicken with the grain, it will eat it.

Do you know the solution? Then the first below who posts it will get the free account upgrades.

Take the grain first, because obviously it'll be fine sitting there on its own. Take the fox next, because I'm doubting the fox will like the grain. Take the chicken last, and all is well.

REVISING:

Take the chicken first... can't leave it alone with the fox on the first side!

Then take the fox, bring the chicken back. Take the grain, then back over to grab the chicken, and THEN all is well.

What is special about the following?

8 5 4 9 1 7 6 10 3 2 0

 

[mikenanboy]

The numbers one to ten, in alphabetical order of their names in English.

 

[anthony]

Do you mean, the numbers 1 7 6 10 are in alphabetical order by their English spelling? That is not the answer.

 

[becvan]

The numbers run in alphabetaical order, e, f, f, n, o, s,s, t,t, t,z!

 

[anthony]

That is the correct answer. I couldn't say you where close mikenanboy, as that would have been a give away. But yes, the entire statement is in alphabetical order:

Eight
Five
Four
Nine
One
Seven
Six
