The River Puzzle
I'm a sucker for mental stuff! Here we have an IQ flash game that is supposed to provide employment for those who solve it in China. I got it in my inbox sometime last year, so nothing new for those who get a lot of forwarded emails. Everything is in Chinese but the aim is to get everyone on the other side of the river, and the following rules apply:1. Only 2 people allowed on the raft,Initially the puzzle seems daunting with a large number of possible moves, however there is in fact very little choice as the wrong moves prevent any further moves. There is only one possible solution produced with the least number of moves. Give it a try before checking out the comments for a hint and the solution.
2. Cop can't leave Thief alone with others,
3. Mom can't be with boys without Dad,
4. Dad can't be with girls without Mom,
5. Children alone can't operate the raft.
Start by clicking the big blue circle on the right.

It was fun in a disturbing kind of way.
The fact that the cop can leave the thief alone on the shore is amusing.
It's funny how everytime you make a mistake, a leaf inexplicably falls out of the sky and someone gets socked in the face.
I think it’s a little creepy that the dad can’t be trusted to be alone with his daughters, and the mother with her sons.
What the hell is wrong with those parents?!
T4td Corp. suggests the following:
Parenting classes
Social worker intervention
Restraining orders
Class action against the Police
A probation officer
and if all that fails -
drain the river.
