@ArchtansterPG: Well, 1st of all if the animals stay where they are, the 3 wildebeest and the 3 lions would all be burn to a crisp. Plus,the wildebeest and the lions all have 1 goal in mind: survive
LISTEN they where ecaul amount of number and lions dont attack then because they are smart enouhg not to BUT because of instincts they attack when outnumbering prey and dus they cannot be left alone
This is the frog and the scorpion in wildabeast and lions. In the end nobody wins. Once the lions were busy packing each other across the river all by themselves and everybody else was already on the safe side of the river they should have took off. Left the Lions by themselves.
If the animals are so concerned with getting away from the fire, why aren't they continuing to run when they get to the other side, thus negating the need to be concerned about how many lions there are on the far side?
I got the riddle on my own for the first time, yay! :D If you're stuck, try cutting 6 little pieces of paper, writing L and W on them and moving them around to represent the animals, it makes it way easier. A lot of work I know haha, but it worked :P

This is one of those riddles that isn't really hard to solve, it's just tedious. There aren't any tricks or parts you need to think hard on, it just takes a lot of route checking and elimination. The riddle asks "What's the FASTEST way to get everyone to the other side" but once you start looking at the choices at each step of the way, you realize there's only one way that works.
Its not exactly like that because the animals on the raft count towards the side they are on, unlike that riddle where if the farmer is watching then it wont count
Solution: Crocs become homies with Wildebeest and they carry them over, then they let the lions take the raft. Wildebeest are out of reach, no one dies!
Anon O'mus Well not necessarily, because the raft only carries two at a time. So the the lions should eat the wilderbeasts, then eat the least helpful lion, then take that one trip across.
It was nice of the lions to not run to safety once the 3 lions got across, I tried rewording this for D&D with 3 orcs and 3 hobbits but the orcs leaving the hobbits to die was the only answer the players got at that point.
The lions can't eat the wildebeests if they are stuck on the other side. You could probably assume that the wildebeests will not come back for the lions if they are all on the other side with no lion to row back the boat.
There was. The one I remember didn't have animals though, you had a policeman, a criminal, some adults and children. The criminal had to stay with the policeman and the children couldn't cross the river without an adult.
There is an additional valid option after 9 crossings (2 lions and 3 wildebeests on the left bank, one lion on the right bank). The video proposes to send a lion back on the 10th crossing but the equally valid option is to send a wildebeest back. In both cases just take both animals to the left bank on the 11th crossing.
@@n_nagpurkar No. After 9 crossings we have 2L+3W on the left and 1L on the right. If we send a wildebeest back, we get 2L+2W on the left and 1L+1W on the right, so both sides have a balanced composition.
On both the 1st and the 9th crossing, one of the animals on the raft is arbitrary because it needs to head back right after anyway and causes no imbalances. It's not much of a difference at all, but technically there are 4 solutions I guess, yeah.
A better solution is for 2 wildebeest to go across on the first trip, leaving 1 wildebeest to be eaten by the lions who will then be killed by the forest fire, which will greatly increase the chances of the wildebeest genome continuing in a lion-free environment - survival of the fittest.
A great tip for this solution is that the moves are symmetrical. This means that after the 6th move, you just mirror image the first 5 moves and get there without any thought whatsoever.
I translated this and posted this riddle in a type of school newspaper forum. (Ted ed wasn't so popular back then so no-one new this video, also this vid is in English so when you try to search it in my language this vid wouldn't come up). Alot of people tried to solve it, and many people made the mistake of thinking a wilderbeast will from the lions because it is on the raft. This is something that i think should be made clearer
The Lions are giant Idiots. I could understand if they wanted to save their lion buddys but at crossing 3 all the lions are on the save side. You can' t tell me, they would go back to the fire, only to save some animals they can' t even eat.. :D
Championriven This could be possible in the far future when these animals will at least be in the term of evolution in the level of dog's IQ. That is, IF these animals CAN evolve.
I love this one! I watched it, and in 5th grade problem solving, there were many similar riddles! I knew how to solve every one of them, and got all of them right! Thanks, TED-Ed!!! :) ^_^
My solution : 🦁🦁< 🦁> 🦁🦁< 🦁> There is now 1🦁 and 3🦓(yeah it's a zebra I know) on the bad side of the river, and 2🦁 on the good side. 🦓🦓< (Leaving one lion with the wildbeest) 🦁🦓> Now, there is 1🦁 and 1🦓 on the good side, and 2🦁 and 2🦓 on the bad side. 🦓🦓< (Leaving the two lions alone) Now, we can't send back a wilbeest, because it's gonna get eaten if we send it alone, and if we send two it's the same thing but in reverse. 🦁> 🦁🦁< 🦁> 🦁🦁< We now have all six animald on the good side of the river. Number of crossing: 11 Casualties: 0
I solved this with drawing a diagram; specifically, I made one with all the different possibilities for the number of animals on each side once the boat lands, along with the side the boat is on. For example, the starting point would be 33L, since there are three lions and three wildebeest on the left side, and the boat is also on the left (I pictured everything as starting on the left rather than right, as that just made more sense to me). Then I connected lines between points to indicate valid moves; for example, the starting move of sending over two lions would be a connection between 33L and 13R (the boat and two lions move over to the right). Then I erased all points that gave states where the lions would attack the wildebeest, and the remaining nodes quickly show the solution with all variations possible (4, since the solution is symmetric around step 6, and the initial choice of what to send over first is reflected in the last moves, as move 10 can also be to send over a wildebeest who returns with the last lion). Incidentally, said graph also shows that if you forbid the same position from occurring more than once (which should be pretty obvious, since anything in between can be cut out entirely), it isn’t actually possible to solve it in anything other than 11 crossings; it’s not only the fastest way, but the only way!
Boglenight Agreed, the wording was not clear at all. I tried to solve this with assuming that two wilder beast/lions can't travel together in one raft. (I did solve the riddle at 3 in the morning though)
I don't think it's the wording on it's own. If I listen to it without looking at the picture, it's quite clear to me (although that could be because I am familiar with river crossing riddles). I think it's the picture of the wildebeest and lion together on the raft caused confusion for some.
Took me a while, but I actually solved this one. I ended up with the second solution, and it was easy halfway through because I realized since I'd ended up with a wildebeest and lion on both sides and on the raft, I just had to do the first half of the solution in reverse.
I don't know if it would take longer but I had a separate idea that I think would work. One wildebeast would stay on the raft the whole time. First it would bring one of the other wildebeasts over, then go back and bring the third. Next trip it gets a lion (note although at this point it would be outnumbered, same for the next point, it wouldn't die because: raft. And although this is kind of a weak point in my version, I think, played right, it would work.). This puts two lions on one side and two wildebeasts and a lion on the other. The next trip evens them out, so still good. And on the final trip both the last wildebeast and lion get off, so still even. I know its not as good as the real answer, and has a lower success/survival rate, but it's what I came up with.
I think this solution is actually closer to what I came up with…it’s 2AM so I completely forgot my idea. But yours sounds similar and like it could work too😂
The problem here is that, the moment it brings that first wildebeast over, there's one remaining wildebeast surrounded by three lions and he gets gobbled up.
This is really hard! Tip: When you want to carry one wildebeest over the river, make sure to let one lion travel with the wildebeest. In this scenario, never start the escape with carrying two wildebeests over the river.
IHateNumbers234 Huh, I did it with paedophiles and children. Then paedophiles became bishops, and the children, so fucked up they resorted to cannibalism.
We had this riddle in middle school once, though it was slightly different. There were 3 things to keep track of. Goats, wolves and cabbages. Each group had 2 members. You needed to take all of them across a river but your boat could only carry 3 things and because you need to be on the boat to control it, only 2 things can be on it. Same rules as the video. If there are less cabbages then goats the goats will eat the cabbages. If there are less goats as wolves the wolves will eat the goats. It doesn't matter if the cabbages and the wolves are left together because the wolves won't eat them. This one is waaay harder
This seems to be much easier than the river crossing riddle. You can just take both of the goats and leave them on other side then go back to take both cabbages and leave them there (now there are 2 of both goats and cabbages on one side) and then go back again to get both wolves.
@@rosynosyposy as stated in their riddle, you stay on the boat as the operator. You are still able to carry 2 things across every time since the boat can carry 3 things and youre always the 3rd item on the boat.

For example, the starting point would be 33L, since there are three lions and three wildebeest on the left side, and the boat is also on the left (I pictured everything as starting on the left rather than right, as that just made more sense to me). Then I connected lines between points to indicate valid moves; for example, the starting move of sending over two lions would be a connection between 33L and 13R (the boat and two lions move over to the right). Then I erased all points that gave states where the lions would attack the wildebeest, and the remaining nodes quickly show the solution with all variations possible (4, since the solution is symmetric around step 6, and the initial choice of what to send over first is reflected in the last moves, as move 10 can also be to send over a wildebeest who returns with the last lion).
Incidentally, said graph also shows that if you forbid the same position from occurring more than once (which should be pretty obvious, since anything in between can be cut out entirely), it isn’t actually possible to solve it in anything other than 11 crossings; it’s not only the fastest way, but the only way!
oh wow
What if at 2:24 The Lions Say "Fuck You" and Leave To The Left😂😂
I finally solved one of these dang things! Where's my cookie?

Here you go
Completed my FIRST one of these! I'm so happy!
I must say, that was an easy and most solvable riddle..
I'm getting Professor Layton flashbacks.
*This reminds me of a puzzle*
No flashbacks
The start of this had incredibly terrible wording of the problem.
yeah, technically all of them could have crossed in one raft
What you mean? Was the video edited afterwards?
Boglenight Agreed, the wording was not clear at all. I tried to solve this with assuming that two wilder beast/lions can't travel together in one raft.
(I did solve the riddle at 3 in the morning though)
I don't think it's the wording on it's own. If I listen to it without looking at the picture, it's quite clear to me (although that could be because I am familiar with river crossing riddles). I think it's the picture of the wildebeest and lion together on the raft caused confusion for some.
bro this is the first and only riddle i was able to solve so far from the ones i have watched 💀
Wtf happenend to the face of the lions
thx, this comment made me laugh
Maybe whoever drew them was in a Picasso phase.
User Name the mane gave the lions a half beard
Just teach those wildebeest how to fight geez
i agree
And get sharp claws and fangs to them... ImPAWssible :P
A girl has no name true
Nah bc lions also learn how to fight PLUS have killer instinct and tools to go with it
Another riddle :D
that I can’t solve
😥 #sadlife
It's only a riddle if you believe it's a riddle. Just like 5G.
Took me a while, but I actually solved this one. I ended up with the second solution, and it was easy halfway through because I realized since I'd ended up with a wildebeest and lion on both sides and on the raft, I just had to do the first half of the solution in reverse.
K but the lions could also not be jerks for 10 minutes

you are the best
plz make more videos for solving riddle
First time i solve a riddle here.. And that really makes me happy.. Yup..
High-five needed❤❤😘

How long their al-lions can last. *Badum-tss*
That was very punny
I don't know if it would take longer but I had a separate idea that I think would work. One wildebeast would stay on the raft the whole time. First it would bring one of the other wildebeasts over, then go back and bring the third. Next trip it gets a lion (note although at this point it would be outnumbered, same for the next point, it wouldn't die because: raft. And although this is kind of a weak point in my version, I think, played right, it would work.). This puts two lions on one side and two wildebeasts and a lion on the other. The next trip evens them out, so still good. And on the final trip both the last wildebeast and lion get off, so still even. I know its not as good as the real answer, and has a lower success/survival rate, but it's what I came up with.
I think this solution is actually closer to what I came up with…it’s 2AM so I completely forgot my idea. But yours sounds similar and like it could work too😂
The problem here is that, the moment it brings that first wildebeast over, there's one remaining wildebeast surrounded by three lions and he gets gobbled up.
This is really hard! Tip: When you want to carry one wildebeest over the river, make sure to let one lion travel with the wildebeest. In this scenario, never start the escape with carrying two wildebeests over the river.
*lions & wildabeasts* : “ok heres the plan, so you go over there and i-“

I did this in fifth grade, but with missionaries and cannibals.
IHateNumbers234
Huh, I did it with paedophiles and children.
Then paedophiles became bishops, and the children, so fucked up they resorted to cannibalism.
I'm still in 5 grade n I had it last term
n I solved it correct
why are they talking about cannibals in 5th grade
2:59 For 5 frames "Crossing Nr.7" Is backwards.
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed it.
We had this riddle in middle school once, though it was slightly different.
There were 3 things to keep track of.
Goats, wolves and cabbages. Each group had 2 members. You needed to take all of them across a river but your boat could only carry 3 things and because you need to be on the boat to control it, only 2 things can be on it.
Same rules as the video. If there are less cabbages then goats the goats will eat the cabbages. If there are less goats as wolves the wolves will eat the goats. It doesn't matter if the cabbages and the wolves are left together because the wolves won't eat them.
This one is waaay harder
This seems to be much easier than the river crossing riddle. You can just take both of the goats and leave them on other side then go back to take both cabbages and leave them there (now there are 2 of both goats and cabbages on one side) and then go back again to get both wolves.
@@PickAPocky the boat cant control itself
@@rosynosyposy as stated in their riddle, you stay on the boat as the operator. You are still able to carry 2 things across every time since the boat can carry 3 things and youre always the 3rd item on the boat.
2:41 on the next step the left is exactly what the right was before, so you just need to do the steps backwards to finish.
