July 13, 2007: Fox steals eggs

Let's see, how does the riddle go? You have to get a fox and five eggs across the pond in your boat. You can only carry two passengers at a time, but can't leave the fox alone with the eggs. Hmmm. No, I can't get more than four of the eggs across without the fox eating one.

I think you leave a goose in there somewhere. Then the fox eats the goose and forgets all about the darn eggs.
