>He wants to get every single animal and object over to the left side, undamaged. You and Loretta want to get over to the right side. If you can make this happen, the rancher will reward you handsomely.>The dinghy can hold two items, plus a rower (either you or the rancher).>A single item can cross the bridge for $0.10 each (no human needed, and a human counts as an item). You have $0.32, along with the rancher’s $0.10.>A little rock in the middle of the river can hold a single item at a time, and counts as a “third” side.On the right:
>There’s the rancher, who can row.>There are 4 cabbages.>There are 3 pigs. If there are <span class="mu-i">more cabbages than pigs</span> on a side, the pigs will eat the cabbages.>There is a bag of seed.>There are 3 baby chicks. If there are <span class="mu-i">more chicks than bags of seed</span> on a side, the chicks will eat the whole bag.>There are 3 bananas.>There is a snake. If left with the <span class="mu-i">baby chicks</span>, it will eat all of them.>There is a bear. If there are <span class="mu-i">two humans</span> with it at any time (even if one is in the dinghy), it will feel threatened and maul both of you. Also, whenever the bear is <span class="mu-i">alone</span> on either side, no interactions will occur on the other side. Also also, the bear is too big to balance on the slippery rock island.>There is a peacock. If left with <span class="mu-i">at least 3 other birds</span>, the others will feel jealous and all will fight to the death.>There is a can of bitter spray, almost empty. A human can use it <span class="mu-i">2 times</span> to make something on the same side <span class="mu-i">unable to be eaten or attacked</span>. (Bitter animals can still attack other things.)On the left:
>There’s you, who can row.>There’s Loretta, who cannot row. She is deathly scared of the <span class="mu-i">snake</span> and will stomp the fuck out of it. If she’s with <span class="mu-i">at least two baby chicks</span>, she will eat one, and it will be very distressing.>There is a beehive. If left with the <span class="mu-i">bear</span>, the bear will smash and eat it.>There are 2 owls. If left with the <span class="mu-i">baby chicks</span> or <span class="mu-i">snake</span>, they will eat them. (Their wings are clipped.)>There is a potted tree.>There is a monkey. The monkey will not leave the tree, so together they count as <span class="mu-i">2 items</span>. If the monkey is left with <span class="mu-i">less than 3 bananas</span>, it will eat them. (You can still send it over the bridge for $0.20.)(1/2)
