Sounds like a lot of work! I'd do it another way
Take the chicken across, come back for the wheat, and make the dog swim!
There was one riddle I've been looking to find again for EONS.. There was Tom, Dick, and Harry (or some similar names), and the three were standing by each other... One of them always told the truth, one sometimes told the truth, and one never told the truth... Then they each said a one-liner describing who should be who. I'd love to find it again
This one ought to keep you folks busy a while... I've solved it many times and still enjoy it.. It's Einsteins riddle
