    The Father cannot stay with any of the daughters, without their Mother's presence.

    Sounds more like Britian, tbh...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    The following rules apply:

    Only 2 people on the raft at a time.
    The Father cannot stay with any of the daughters, without their Mother's presence.
    The Mother cannot stay with any of the sons, without their Father's presence.
    The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member, if the Policeman is not there.
    Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft

    Hands up who else got this far and immediately thought "is the father a paedophile?"

    Yeah and if you left them the wolf might eat the fox and the fox might eat the...cabbage. Hmm, not so sure on that one. There was a bag of gold coins or something I think too. I'd be taking the money and running tbh.

    Yes I remember it well from an old childcraft book, it served me well and I cracked this in seconds.

    It's a trick, you have to get the cop to put the handcuffs on the dad, he's an evil abuser who can't be left alone with anybody.
    Or check post #35


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,174 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Stressful!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,594 ✭✭✭Maddison


    Yayyyyyy!!!
    I cheated but hey, I can get back to relaxing now :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 144 ✭✭xxlilyxx


    this is the most stressful thing in the world, it wont let me move the raft back from the other side without two people on it which means id never be able to get them over. its annoying.

    FWIW you're missing a "bring dad back to pick up boy" step before the last "bring policeman and thief back" step :)
