7. You have a fox, a chicken, and a worm. you want to get them to the other side of the lake. You only have one boat, and can only take one animal on the boat when crossing. If left alone together, the fox will eat the chicken. In a similar situation, the chicken will eat the worm. Ignoring the fact that if you could take across a fox in the boat you could take a chicken and a worm and other such blatantly obvious logical flaws, how do you get the animals across?
6. First take the chicken over. Come back and get the worm. Take the chicken back, leave it, and get the fox. Take the fox over, leaving the fox and worm on the far side. Go back for the chicken.
7. None. If it's a good boat, it floats up with the tide. If it's not a good boat, then you're up ***** creek with out the proverbial paddle.

I meant it would still be one foot above the water. So the answer would be none.
