Can you help the coconut man across the river?!


Question: Can you help the coconut man across the river?

In a village in kerela, a man needed to transport 101 coconuts to another island. The only way to get there is through a boat. However, the best boat can only take upto two people including 100 coconuts. Even one extra load of coconut will sink the boat. The coconut man cannot pull the coconut as that might also increase the weight in the boat and for the sheer fear of losing the coconut. His client is waiting on the island for the coconuts, and he has to take all of them across in a single trip. What can he do?

Throw the coconut across to the island and row the other 100 with the man.

thats easy
it can hold up to two people and 100 coconuts
hes one person and theres 101 coconuts

isd the boatman on of the people? ok so if it is out boatman, conconut man and 100 coconuts int eh boat, tie a string to the remaning coconut and tow it behind!

there is no problem, the boat can take 2 men and 100 coconuts, you only need it to hold 1 man and 101 cocnuts, hopefully 1 coconut wieghs less than 1 man.

eat the one coconut nd pick another on the other side i guess

I'm going to guess that you meant to say the boat can only take one person including 100 coconuts. In that case, the man can juggle two coconuts on the trip there so that one coconut will always be in the air.

well its tricky one...but i guess in that place he should himself drink the i coconut water
and after reaching the island with the remaining 100 coconut water he should fill the water and give in an empty coconut shelf or either he should get the client near the coconut cans.......

he brings all coconuts across by himself
