hey flist! are you procrastinating right now?

[slumber]

I bet you are--so let me help you!

This is a logic puzzle challenge thing that I picked up from random-LJ-surfing. It apparently consumes your life until you solve it. Time yourself for fun! :|

The rules are in Japanese Chinese, but I picked up a nifty translation too!

• Everybody has to cross the river
  
• Only 2 people on the raft at a time
  
• The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence.
  
• The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence.
  
• The thief cannot stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there.
  
• Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.
  
• To start, click on the big blue circle on the right.
  
• To move the people, click on them.
  
• To move the raft, click on the poles on the opposite sides of the river.

I finished in about fifteen minutes, but mostly did it through trial and error. This time of night is no time for logic, obviously.

Actually, that's in Chinese.

LOL, sorry, I just believed what the LJ entry said and copied the rules without actually glancing at the instructions. :P

I tried it, but quickly give up because I'm bad at these kinds of logic(?) games D:
