heres a pretty easy one...
you have a fox, a chicken, and a bag of chicken feed and you need to cross a river, you can only take one of the 3 things along with you at a time, but the fox will eat the chicken so they can never be alone together and the chicken will eat the feed so they can never be alone together....how do you get all 3 across without anything being eaten?

Re: Riddle #1
gunner your explanation is hard. just fill the 3 up,and dump it in the 5. then fill the 3 up again, fill up the 5. leaves you with one in the 3.
