- EGreg 4y agoThe goat will eat the cabbage?
- 8note 4y agoThe goat does not eat cabbage in this set up. That is the trick
- int_19h 4y agoIt's actually not explicitly stated: "I am not allowed to leave the cabbage and lion alone together, and I am not allowed to leave the lion and goat alone together." It says nothing about the cabbage and the goat. It would not be unreasonable to infer that you aren't allowed to leave the cabbage and the goat together, based on how goats normally behave. Of course, that makes the puzzle unsolvable, which is why humans will catch onto it pretty fast.
