    Here's a nice little brain teaser...took me about 15 times to solve it. Of course, now I can't remember HOW I solved it, but anyways...The rules are:

    Get all three hunters and all three lions across the river. Click on a lion or a hunter to put them in and take them out of the boat. Click on "Go" to send the boat across...

    Only two individuals can be in the boat at the same time (two lions, two hunters, or one of each)

    The number of hunters on either side of the river must be equal to or greater than the number of lions, or else the lions will overpower the hunters and eat them (I guess the hunters' guns aren't loaded?)

    One individual must be in the boat in order for it to cross over (How they taught a lion to operate a motorboat I'LL never know)

    Or perhaps each hunter has the old style muskets, and can only shoot once every 5 minutes or so.

    Edit: Hoorah! I finally won!
