Missionary Puzzle
(MSIE 4.0 or Netscape 3.0+)
This puzzle originally involved having 3 missionaries and 3
headhunters standing on one side of the river. You have a boat
which can carry 3 people across at a time (you need a missionary
to steer the boat) and must get all 6 across to the other side.
The trick is that you can never leave headhunters alone with
a smaller number of missionaries. This is the same puzzle
except with wolves and sheep (the images were conveniently available).
- Click on an animal on the bank to move it into the boat
- Click on an animal on the boat to move it to the bank

Note: although the puzzle is not, this page and javascript
code are based on the Wolves vs Sheep puzzle by Jerry Fitzgerald. The images used come directly from
there.
