Weekend Challenge: River Re-routing
Added 2019-03-23 18:56:07 +0000 UTCMavie: "While the Spring Festival has been canceled due to the declaration of war, a few friends of mine missed the message and require re-routing. Would you mind helping them?"
Each Trader needs to get their goods across a river, but the ferry boat can only take one item at a time. What makes it even more complicated is that many of the trade goods cannot be left without supervision. For example, the Southern Trader's Shadowcat will eat the Cockatrice, and the Cockatrice will eat the Wiggle Worms if either one of them gets the chance. Form a plan on Discord with your fellow Apprentices and work as a team to help each Traveling Merchant cross the River!
Rules:
- Trader and their inventory must be safely across the River before next Trader can be helped.
- Only one item can be transported across the river at a time.
- Must use boat to transport items.
- Only one action per Apprentice.
- Items brought across the river can be brought back
- Traders do not count as items and stay with you each time you cross the river.
Scoring:
- C Rank = 1 Trader and Items safely across River
- B Rank = 2 Traders and Items safely across River
- A Rank = 3 Traders and Items safely across River
- S Rank = 4 Traders and Items safely across River

2019-03-25 17:18:48 +0000 UTCWow, confusing. Needs more status updates, or apprentices diagramming the state of play after their update. The general form for this classic problem (A eats B eats C, so AB and BC are disallowed combinations, but AC is okay), is: Start position (ABC+boat / nothing) B across river (AC / B+boat) Return empty (AC+boat / B) C across river (A / BC+boat) Return with B (AB+boat / C) A across river (B / AC+boat) Return empty (B+boat / AC) B across river ( nothing / ABC + boat) AB are thus never alone together, and neither are BC. With the Wiggle worms now across the river, I think the state of play following Mooboy is: Cockatrice // river // Shadowcat, Wiggle worms, boat So I'll take the boat back across the river empty. I'll then hang about, and if no other likely apprentices show up to take the cockatrice across, I'll cast an illusion spell to disguise myself, and nonchalantly finish this challenge by boating the cockatrice across the river. ;-)

2019-03-24 16:18:42 +0000 UTCOh I think I see I'll take the cockatrice back to grab the wiggle worms.
2019-03-24 15:56:03 +0000 UTCMavie: "Oh no! Apprentices! If you go back for the wiggle worms now, you will leave the Shadowcat and Cockatrice alone, the Cockatice will be eaten by the Shadowcat! Work together as a team on discord before you comment, this isn't as easy as it looks." Current Status: Wiggle Worms ///River/// Boat + ShadowCat + Cockatrice

2019-03-24 14:30:12 +0000 UTCI will get into the boat and fetch in the wiggle worms, hope they like the potting soil I put in these buckets. Now oars or paddles...
2019-03-24 07:15:00 +0000 UTCI guess I'll take Shadowcat. Wish me luck!
