There are four missionaries and four cannibals. The problem is now unsolvable. There is an oar on each bank. One person can cross in the boat with just one oar, but two oars are needed if the boat is to carry two people. One of the missionaries is Jesus Christ. Here we are using cultural literacy. Missionaries protected by the prayers of loved ones at the precise moment of danger is a common tale. Here’s an example from a 1979 collection of anecdotes and inspirational tales.

A river. Three cannibals and three missionaries are standing on one bank. There is a boat with maximum capacity of two people. How do they get to the other side so that missionaries are never outnumbered by cannibals on any bank?

Hint

There can be two people on the boat even on the way back or someone who has already been on the other side can go back. Try to draw the situation.

Answer

Cannibal and missionary there (or two cannibals). Missionary back (cannibal).

Two cannibals there one back.

Two missionaries there. Missionary and cannibal back.

Two missionaries there.

Now three missionaries and a cannibal moved to the other bank. The cannibal can now travel his friends one by one.
