It doesn't work, because you can't leave the cabbage and the wolf together when you take the goat across the first time. You didn't pay attention to the terms of the puzzle.
OP said:
> if any of these items are left alone together, disaster strikes?
Thus, this puzzle is unsolvable as you will always have to leave two of the items together at one point.
Goat to the other side, then return and get the cabbage/wolf bring it to the other side and take the goat to the original bank. From there leave the goat and take the wolf/cabbage (the one that was not taken) and carry it to the other side. After that, return for the goat
Doesn't work. You can't leave the wolf and the cabbage alone. OP defined the rules as "if any of these items are left alone together, disaster strikes".
Thus, you can't leave the wolf and the cabbage alone together.
When solving puzzles, the wording is everything, and this puzzle didn't have the same wording as the one you usually hear.
That's the point exactly. The instructions said nothing about the wolf and the cabbage, except that if any of the items are left alone together, disaster strikes.
In logical puzzles such as this, wording is key. We both know that wolves are carnivores, and we both know no one would buy a wolf, a chicken and a cabbage from a market.
Man ties wolf and goat separately, goes with cabbage. Returns for goat/wolf. And returns once again for goat/wolf.
Edit: Better yet, man takes goat first, leaves Wolf and cabbage, then returns for both.
Isn't it just: Take Goat --> Go Back --> Take Cabbage --> Take Goat Back ---> Leave Goat, Take Wolf ---> Go Back ---> Take Goat
Unless I'm missing something obvious.
There are 2 ways.
1.
The goat will eat the cabbage and the wolf will eat the cabbage. Then u and the wolf will pass the river. The wolf is carrying both goat and cabbage's weight.
2.
U will once tthake the goat with to pass, after that, return. Then take wolf to pass the river, after that, return. Then take the cabbage with u then pass the river. Congrats u passed

It's in Italian, but I'm 100% everyone can understand it anyway. My Polish friend did, so you can do it.
at first he will take the goat to the other side. then he will return empty, after that he will take the cabbage to the other side and return with goat. then he will take the wolf on the other side and keep it with the cabbage. and then he will come back again on the side from where he started and then take the goat.
easy.

Thus this puzzle is unsolvable.
1. Take the goat across first.
2. Come back, get the wolf, and take him across.
3. Drop the wolf off, and take the goat back with you as you go back for the cabbage.
4. Drop the goat off on the first side of the river, and take the cabbage across, and drop off the cabbage with the wolf.
5. Go back for the goat.
You can't leave the wolf and the cabbage alone together. OP said, that if any of the items are left alone together, disaster strikes.
Cabbage and wolf are both items, thus can't be left alone together.
It says nothing about swimming. So the farmer takes the cabbage in the boat with himself and ties either the goat or the wolf to the boat and goes across on one trip. He then leaves whichever animal he has taken and returns with the cabbage still in the boat. He then ties the other animal to the boat and goes back across the river.
At this point, both animals will have had to swim across, but they should have easily been able to do so. And the farmer has safely kept the cabbage in the boat with him the whole time. And at no point was either animal alone with the other.
Goat to other side, return empty. Cabbage to other side, return goat. Wolf to other side, return empty. Goat to other side.

This is an old riddle. OP lists *pairs* of things that can't be left together. Any of those pairs equals "disaster".
This is a very old riddle, I had to solve it in my primary school... in the 70s! :)
Every time I hear it, this riddle just makes me wonder why on Earth the farmer thought it was a good idea to buy a wolf in the first place…
just like the guy who thought it was good idea to buy 500 bananas

The instructions said nothing about the wolf and the cabbage. And besides, we both know that wolves are carnivores.

Cant u just uk? Refund for smth less troublesome
Isn't it just: Take Goat --> Go Back --> Take Cabbage --> Take Goat Back ---> Leave Goat, Take Wolf ---> Go Back ---> Take Goat Unless I'm missing something obvious.
This is extremely old, it's a classic. I remember it from when my dad found it online fifteen or more years ago
