Fun puzzle

[inspic=71,leftclear,fullscreen,thumb]
This is a neat little flash puzzle.

There are 8 people, a family consisting of a mother, father, 2 sons and 2 daughters, and also a policeman and a convict.

You have to use the raft to get everyone across the river but there are a few qualifications.

  • Only 2 people can get on the raft at one time.
  • The father can’t be left alone with either of the daughters without the mother there.
  • The mother can’t be left alone with either of the sons without the father there.
  • The convict can’t be left with any of the family members without the policeman.
  • And only the father, the mother and the policeman can operate the raft

Give it a try. Rehosted here, click here to open the flash in a new window.

The game is in Chinese, just click the big round blue button in the bottom right corner to start.

It would seem to originate from http://www.smallcampus.net but the site is entirely in Chinese.

If anyone wants to know the solution, let me know in the comments.
