OK, this thing is bugging the HECK out of me. :evil:

Below is a quick description of the test.

Everybody has to cross the river. The following rules apply:

* Only 2 persons on the raft at a time
* The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence
* The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father's presence
* The thief (striped shirt) can not stay alone with any family member
* Only the father, the mother and the policeman know how to operate the raft
* To move the people click on them.
* To move the raft click on the red balls

If you succeed in:
4 minutes: you are a Genius
6 minutes: You are exceptionally intelligent
10 minutes:You are very intelligent
20 minutes:You are average
25 minutes: You are a bit slow
30 minutes or more: You are terrible

Just hit the bigger circular button to start.

Ooooh. I remember this from Elementary school! I totally forget the answer now tho. But I do remember that I wasn't able to figure it out back then. LOL

I won't ruin it by posting the answer though.

I was able to get them all across. I don't think it gave my time, but if it did it was in Japenese. The last two were the Policeman and the criminal.

I solved it but it doesn't show the time! My guess is 1, maybe 2 minutes though... I mean...

OK, it took a while. At one point, I thought that the rules were wrong so I tried different combinations. Bummer, they were right.

Fun puzzle though. Anyone else expecting Strong Bad to pop out and laugh at you? Or, maybe, Stinko Man...

I guess I'm a loser then. I've tried it a couple times (probably spent a total of about 15 minutes on it) and can only get 3 kids and both parents accross. :evil:

I'm usually very quick solving such puzzles but this one took me almost half an hour. I guess I'm just too tired this late at night... :sleeping:

Got it! That was fun, but I wish it told you exactly how long it took. I would say it took me about five minutes.

That was fun!

I got it in four minutes. At first though, I couldn't figure what the heck was going on.

And I love the little animations when you have a bad match!

Hmmm.... The mother isn't allowed to be alone with the sons and the father isn't allowed to be alone with the daughters? That's really... weird.

Usually it's sheep and a wolf or something.

Haven't you heard?

In Japan the mother eats the little boys and the Daddy has to be there to save them! :?

Too bad. I wanted to spring this on some work-mates, the link seems to be dead. I guess the 'Thoughts effect strikes again!

I'm glad it's gone! (Stupid game. :evil: ) I never did get it and my wife did in about 5 minutes. She had to show me. So if 30 minutes is terrable, an hour must be mildly retarded. :lol:

Anyway, I got this from another board who got it from another board, so it's been getting around quite a bit.
