There is a farmer with on an island. He has a cat, a bag of seed, and a chicken. He has a boat big enough to carry one item with him at a time back to the mainland. If he leaves the cat and chicken alone on the island the cat will eat the chicken. If he leaves the chicken alone with the bag of seed the chicken will eat the seed. How does he get all three items across by carrying one item at a time?
