Question:
You have a bear, a rabbit, and a pineapple. In front of you is a bridge you have to cross. You can only bring one of your possessions over at a time. If left alone, the rabbit will eat the bear. If left alone, the bear will eat the pineapple and then die. How do you bring all 3 of your possessions across the bridge without anything getting eaten? List the steps.
Answer:
Any valid solution is acceptable. (e.g., take BEAR and leave it on the other side, come back empty, take RABBIT to other side, and then back with the BEAR, then take the PINEAPPLE across and leave it, come back empty, and finally take RABBIT there).
Resolution Criteria: It does not have to be optimal. It can repeat. But it must end with a valid answer. Refusing to answer is incorrect. Changing the rules is incorrect.
