The first step must be to bring the chicken across the river, as any other will result in the chicken or the rice being eaten!. When the farmer returns to the original side, he has the choice of bringing either the fox or the rice across!. If he brings the fox across, he must then return to bring the rice over, resulting in the fox eating the chicken!. If he brings the rice across, he will need to return to get the fox, resulting in the rice being eaten!. Here he has a dilemma, solved by bringing the fox (or the rice) over and bringing the chicken back!. Now he can bring the rice (or the fox) over, leaving the chicken, and finally return to fetch the chicken!.
His actions in the solution are summarised in the following steps:
Bring chicken over
Return
Bring fox or rice over
Bring chicken back
Bring rice or fox over
Return
Bring chicken over
Thus there are seven crossings, four forward and three back!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hmm!.!.!. very interesting!. I'd say !.!.!.well, I was gonna say -- take the chicken across first, then come back and get the fox, but the fox would end up eating the chicken on the other side while the man would be returning for the rice!.!.!. I'm stumped!. Good Luck, sorry!.
