question of the day

if on one side of the river, there is a fox, a chicken and a farmer. there is a boat that can cross the river but can only hold 2 people and only 150 pounds. the farmer is 100 pounds, the fox is 50 pounds, and the chicken is weightless. the fox cant go with the chicken or he'll eat him. the farmer has to steer the boat. how can all of them get across?

can they make two trips? the farmer could take the fox across, then come back and take the chicken...maybe...i'm so not good at these things!

Kristen is right. This one is easy. I heard a riddle with 3 animals that was more complex.
