What are some fun logic puzzles for beginners?

Here are a few fun logic puzzles for beginners:

1. The River Crossing Puzzle: Get a wolf, goat, and cabbage across a river without leaving the wolf alone with the goat or the goat alone with the cabbage.
2. The Two Doors Riddle: You have two doors, one leads to freedom and the other to death. You can ask one guard one question. What do you ask?

Can you explain the River Crossing Puzzle?

Sure! In the River Crossing Puzzle, you have to transport a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage across a river using a boat that can only carry you and one other item at a time. If you leave the wolf alone with the goat, the wolf will eat the goat. If you leave the goat alone with the cabbage, the goat will eat the cabbage. You need to figure out the correct sequence to get all three across safely.

What’s the solution to that puzzle?

Here's the solution:

1. Take the goat across first and leave it on the other side.
2. Go back alone and take the wolf across.
3. Leave the wolf on the other side, but take the goat back with you.
4. Leave the goat on the original side and take the cabbage across.
5. Leave the cabbage with the wolf and go back alone to get the goat.
6. Finally, take the goat across. Now all three are safely on the other side!

Are there any other beginner-friendly puzzles?

Yes! Another great beginner-friendly puzzle is the 'Three Hats Riddle' where three people are wearing hats that are either black or white. They can see each other's hats but not their own. The challenge is to figure out the color of their own hat based on what they see and the silence of others.
