put the fox in the sack?

nope
Why not? put the fox in the sack and make a return trip for the chicken.

the sack is full of corn, and your only supposed to take 1 item at a time


Was my optional answer acceptable, dnetmhz?

I'll give you a point for thinking outside the box

A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?

take chicken across
go back
take fox across
take chicken back
take grain across
go back
take chicken across
done.

okay, take the chicken across, come back, dump the corn, put the fox in the sack, take the fox over, switch out the fox and the chicken, take the chicken back over, switch out the chicken and the corn, take the corn over, come back and get the chicken.
Edit: Heh, i guess i got caught up on the sack part of the problem.

Technically, you're still taking two items even though the sack is empty. Plus you've got a mess of corn on the ground to clean up while the chicken is clucking around trying to get it.

Edit: Your edit caught me in mid edit. You've got it now.
