    Give me a minute. I have to think about this.

    Yup nose is it. I guess thought coming from the brain.

    Bu Heart like kit mentioned might fit too.

    Arg, I was so close... but the 'symmetrical' and 'palindrome' are the same for me. Palindromic words have a line of symmetry along the middle letter or between the middle letters.

    I made one, maybe it's got flaws though...

    What flows but never drips
    Can be seen but never heard
    Defying time, it is said to remain/stay for many years?

    The sun? But that wouldn't make sense with the first line...

    Can I have a hint?

    Um... right now, you see it, but don't do it... I know, it's difficult to explain without giving out the answer.

    Ok, it can be a verb or a noun.

    Bah, I guess I'll just tell. I was thinking about 'writing'.

    A piece of writing can flow in the sense that it's easy to read and the ideas fit well.
    You see a writing, you don't hear it unless it is read aloud, but then, it's more of a speech.
    We always say that words fly, but writing stay, or something similar right?

    :o

    You have a goat, wolf, and cabbage that you need to get across the river. You can only have one thing with you on your boat at once. You cannot leave the wolf alone with the goat or it will eat it. You also cannot leave the goat alone with the lettuce or it will eat it. How do you get all three to the other side?

    Send the wolf and the cabbage first?

    Take the goat first. The wolf won't eat the cabbage.

    You can only bring one with you at a time, and you have to come back to get the other things

    Then what? You still have the cabbage and the wolf to bring over

    Okay, put the wolf and cabbage in the boat, you swim behind with the goat on your back.

    Solved. :)

    Take the goat, drop it off at a different river bank.

    Come back, get the wolf, then go back again and get the cabbage.

    Then you can go to the other river bank and get the goat.

    Voilą.

    Am I right this time?

    But you left the goat. I have the goat on my back. :)

    I like my last one. I think that's it. :)

    Lol. Yea I edited.

    Maybe eat the cabbage and than take the wolf over?
  • Jul 29, 2010, 09:55 PM

    Oh, another solution.

    Take the goat across, then go back, pick up the wolf, drop off the wolf and on the return trip you bring the goat with you. Leave the goat, pick up the cabbage, take the cabbage across to the wolf, then go back and get the goat again.

    That's got to be it!

    Oh I got it. Take the goat across, and then come back and get the wolf. Drop the wolf off but bring the goat back. Drop the goat off on the other side and pick up the cabbage. Drop the cabbage off and go back for the goat once again

    YESSS

    I am so smart, smrt, smrt!

    It's
    1. take goat to other side and drop it off
    2. go back for cabbage and swap it for the goat
    3. take the goat back and swap it for the wolf
    4. take the wolf over and leave it with the cabbage
    5. go back and get the goat and take it to the other side
