A problem invented by the learned monk and mathematician from Ireland Alcuin (735–804).
The peasant needs to transport a wolf, a goat and a cabbage across the river. But the boat is such that only a peasant can fit in it, and with him either one wolf, or one goat, or one cabbage. But if you leave a wolf with a goat, then the wolf will eat the goat, and if you leave a goat with cabbage, then the goat will eat the cabbage. How did the peasant transport his cargo?
Solution 1.: It is clear that we have to start with a goat. The peasant, having transported the goat, returns and takes the wolf, which he transports to the other bank, where he leaves it, but he also takes the goat and takes it back to the first bank. Here he leaves her and transports the cabbage to the wolf. Then, returning, he transports the goat, and the crossing ends safely. Solution 2: First, the peasant again transports the goat. But the second one can take the cabbage, take it to the other bank, leave it there and return the goat to the first bank. Then transport the wolf to the other side, return for the goat and again take her to the other side.

No matter how many correct answers you get, it is not an IQ test. It's important to force your brain to think outside of the ordinary. Below we will give you some tips that will help tune your brain to the right wavelength and prevent it from aging.
Brain exercises
Always have a crossword, puzzle, Sudoku, or any other similar thing that interests you in a prominent place. Spend a few minutes on them every morning to activate your brain.
Regularly attend exhibitions or conferences on topics that are unfamiliar to you. Think about how you can apply what you learn to your industry.
In this article we will look at the most interesting puzzles intended for children, but not every adult can master them. They managed to stupefy more than one Internet user and gained enormous popularity on the Internet, as did comic tests with answers - but how quickly can you cope with them? The correct answers are waiting for you at the end of the article!
Where does the bus go?
If we talk about the most popular children's tasks on the Internet, this is one of them. Here is a picture of a bus. Which way is he heading?
How many points are there?
More attentiveness tasks for the most eagle-eyed users: how many black dots do you see at the intersections of lines?
Which circle is bigger?
Now let's solve interesting graphic puzzles. Can you answer which of the yellow circles shown in the picture is larger?
Moving the matches
The following children's puzzles are also often given to first-graders to solve: they require you to move matches in a certain way to get a given figure.
Find the panda!
The Internet was also blown up by the following graphic puzzles by artists who placed an image of a panda in complex pictures and invited other users to find it. They hid the panda in the crowd of stormtroopers from " Star Wars”, in a gathering of metalheads, and even tried to hide her among the myriad of massage tables. Check your attentiveness!
Japanese IQ test
But what kind of IQ test did the Japanese come up with? On the shore there is a man with two sons, a mother with two daughters and a policeman with a criminal. In front of them is a raft on which they need to get to the other side. Try to think about how they can be transported there, taking into account such interesting conditions:
- Only two people can fit on the raft at a time, and it cannot float without people at all.
- Children can only travel on the raft with an adult. But sons cannot remain alone with the girls’ mother, and daughters cannot remain alone with the boys’ father.
- And the criminal cannot be left alone with others without the supervision of a policeman.
Found the answer? If not, watch this interesting test in the video:
Right answers
There can be two correct answers to this puzzle. The first is that the bus goes to the left, since on the other side, invisible to the viewer, there are doors through which passengers get inside. This answer is valid for our roads with right-hand traffic. But for countries where traffic left-handed, the correct answer is right.
The picture shows parking spaces, and a car occupies one of them. If you turn the picture over, you will realize that you originally saw the numbers upside down. Therefore, the number under the car is 87. No matter how much you try to calculate some clever polynomial here, such interesting puzzles are not designed for algebraic logic, but rather for ingenuity.
Missing value = 2. To solve such children's puzzles, you need to put yourself in the shoes of the children. Do kids know how to solve complex equations and count arithmetic progressions? But they notice that the values in the columns depend on the number of circles in each set of numbers. Let's take, for example, the row 6855: in the number 6 there is one circle, and in the number 8 there are two, so the output is 1+2 =3, that is, 6855=3. And in row 2581 only the number 8 has two circles, so the solution is 2.
There are 12 points in total in the figure. But our brain is designed in such a way that it does not allow us to see them all at the same time, so at a time we can only notice three or four black dots.
The mugs are exactly the same! Such simple puzzles are built on visual illusion. The blue circles on the left side of the picture are large and some distance from the yellow one. The circles on the right side are small and stand close to the yellow circle, which is why it seems to us that it is larger than the first one.
