Don’t leave me hanging- what’s the answer so I can pose it to my son?
I want to say it’s about sharing the cabbage so all three aren’t hungry, but then the cabbage wouldn’t make it to the other side…

G- goat
C – cabagge
W- wilf
Tn- Trip number
Tnr- trip number return, eg T2r
T1: G, T1r empty
T2: W, T2r G
T3: C, T3r empty
T4: G
The other alternative is for T2: C, T2r G, then T3: W, T3r empty. T1 and T4: G don’t change.

Ack! I was under the false assumption that it was only in ONE trip! Now I see there was no mention either way about how many trips the farmer had available to him! Thanks!
