For those of you who have seen the episode of the office where they have to figure out how to get the farmer, the goat, the fox, and the grain across the river... unfortunately this will require just as much introduction. But I would like to mention in passing two of Gareth's classic comments on the matter: "Why would a farmer have a fox? A fox is the farmer's greatest enemy." And in response to the answer to his question that the farmer doesn't have a wife to help him as he is gay, "Well he shouldn't be let near animals then..." is such genius that I can't believe that the makers of this puzzle didn't bear it in mind when they came up with the idea that thieves beat up everyone except the police and that Father's karate-chop their daughters when the mother isn't about and the mother does likewise to the sons when the father isn't abouot (presumably as he's busy beating the daughters). Frankly, given what these people do to their own children, I shudder to think what they would do to animals, and i'm not even sure they are farmers... but I digress.
Anyway, it's four in the morning so any typos or general crapness in my writing should be excused for this reason (for previous writing of a similar standard, I bviously have no excuse). Basically the rules are as follows:
To start click on the big blue circle on the right.
To move the people click on them.
To move the raft click on the pole by the river.
Only 2 persons on the raft at a time:
The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother
The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father
The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there
And most importantly...
Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft
I did this in just under 20 minutes after a beer at lunchtime today.
Do it now!

The second time I did this it only took me three minutes. So now I feel like a bit of a dummy because it's not actually that hard.
10 minutes the first time and 10 minutes the second time. Thus I am synchronously more intelligent and much dumber than you both.

Well, maybe if you spent a little less time solving Buckley's riddles and a little more time WORKING ON YOUR BLOG, Lynchmeister, we wouldn't be in this predicament. Though exactly what that means is a mystery to me. But then again, I couldn't even solve the stupid puzzle in the first place, so maybe I should shut my mouth.
Mouth, eh?
Maybe I should!
