The missionaries and the Cannibals
Three missionaries and three cannibals come to a river and find a boat that holds two. If the cannibals ever outnumber the missionaries on either bank, the missionaries will be eaten. How shall they cross? I was very excited, when I found a flash version of this problem, which is popular in many AI (Artifical Intelligences) classes. I used to play around with it using 3 pennies and 3 quarters, but this flash version is much more fun. Just follow the link and give it a try. This is one of my favorite problems by far.
