Another Brain Teaser

Ok, if we are going to do old quizzers, here is another. Some may not have seen it.

A farmer has a fox, a rooster, and an ear of corn. He comes to a swinging bridge he must cross. He can carry only one across at a time. How does he get all three across without one eating the other?

First trip he takes the rooster
Second trip he takes the fox across and brings the rooster back
Third trip he takes the corn across
Forth trip he takes the rooster across

He never leaves the rooster and fox alone, and never leaves the rooster and corn alone.

Yep, heard that one about 40 years ago, as well.

I would let the rooster eat the corn, then let the fox eat the rooster then carry the fox over. Bingo all three over with one trip.
