I think together they are the most extensive resource on river crossing puzzles on the web.</p>
<p>I used the week between Christmas and New Year to look for apps. To my surprise, there was just one, and it held just a few puzzles. Well, it did in spire me to:</p>
<p><strong>1) The Autists and the Lazy.</strong><br />
Six people want to cross a river. They have a boat which can hold only 2 people at a time.<br />
* Two of the six people are autists. They don&#8217;t  want to be in the boat with any one else, though they don&#8217;t mind being on the same shore.<br />
* Two of the people are outright lazy, and don&#8217;t want to row.<br />
* The remaining two people are normal.<br />
How many crossings does the boat have to make?</p>
