The farmer must take the chicken across first (leaving the fox and the corn on river bank A). He then takes the fox across second, but instead of leaving the fox with the chicken, he swaps the fox for the chicken (taking the chicken back to the river bank A). He then swaps the chicken out for the corn, bringing the corn over to be with the fox on river bank B. Lastly, he goes back for the chicken and brings it to river bank B.

Here’s a quick test to determine your stress level. Read the following description completely before looking at the picture linked below.

The picture was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary’s Hospital. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are essentially identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are so similar, a person under stress would find many differences between the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.

Look at the image and, if you find more than one or two differences, you may want to enjoy a really relaxing holiday…
