Brain Teaser From Japan

I've heard this is a brain teaser from Japan, it's used to test applicants about logical solving supposedly. It's tricky! It took me about 20 minutes to solve, and 20 minutes to figure it out again the next day because I'd forgotten! It's one of those sequence tests. Click on the blue dot to begin the test. Let me know how you did.

Objective: To get everyone across the river.
Everyone: Mother, 2 daugthers, Father, 2 sons, Policeman, Criminal

Rules of the Game:
  • Only 2 people at max can cross the river at the same time on the raft.
  • Only the Father, Mother, and Policeman can operate the raft.
  • The Criminal cannot stay with any member of the family without the Policeman.
  • The Mother cannot stay with the sons without the Father's presence.
  • The Father cannot stay with the daughters without the Mother's presence.
  • That means left with a child of opposite gender, transporting a child, or arriving at the other side alone with a child.
  • Click on the people to move them.
  • Click on the red lever to move the raft.

It can be frustrating, I almost gave up, so it's ok. Have a good time!
