3 women and 3 children wish to cross a river in a canoe that will hold only 1 woman OR 2 children. They can all
row in fact even the children can row on their own, but no one can swim. If a one way trip in the canoe takes
10 minutes, what is the minimum time in which all six people can cross the river?
 
Well....

I have not started yet...
Do I have to count all the possible combinations of woman and kids?

thanks

WHAT? You post a problem without even trying it :evil:

Start: 2 kids cross, one comes back.
That's all the help you deserve.

Are you mathisfun ?
 
So getting others to do your hw is just a big joke to you, right? :roll:
