Okay, here's the next riddle, brain buster, whatever you want to call it.

Two boys and a man need to cross a river. They can only use the canoe. It will hold only the man OR the two boys' weight. How can they all get across safely?

Before I start getting all your creative answers, let me just say, you can solve this brain buster without any creative outside the scenario suggestions. This is a critical thought problem and just bear in mind that the man and the two boys are going to use the canoe to row themselves over to the other side. Space aliens will not beam them over. They will not make a rope out of plants an attach it to the boat to pull it back over the river.

They will get in the boat and row themselves across.

Wow. That was fast. G Fresh sent me the solution in less than 5 minutes from the posting. Good work! I'm going to leave this up a day or two before posting the next so that others can have a chance to answer too!
