This is a test some Japanese applicants have to take when applying for a job in Japan.
Dunno if that is true, but this is a fun puzzle :)
The object of the game is to get everyone across the river.

Click on link, and then click on the big blue circle. Use the rules below.
"Everybody has to cross the river". The following rules apply:
· Only 2 persons on the raft at a time
· The father can not stay with any of the daughters, without their mother's presence
· The mother can not stay with any of the sons, without their father's presence
· The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member, if the Policeman is not there Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.
To start click on the big blue circle on the right. To move the people click on them. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.
This can be done in 17 moves. The solution is in the comments if you need the answer :)

The solution is as follows. Have the characters cross in the following order:
1) cop & stripe, 2) cop, 3) cop & girl1, 4) cop & stripe, 5) mom & girl2, 6) mom, 7) mom & dad, 8) dad, 9) cop & stripe, 10) mom, 11) mom & dad, 12) dad, 13) dad & boy1, 14) cop & stripe, 15) cop & boy2, 16) cop, 17) cop & stripe
Why would the thief just run away, once the cop left him alone!! He's not even in cuffs!!!

i still dont get it. at 13 when you send the dad and boy across you have to send an adult back over on the raft but it just says cop and stripe?
im sorry. i misread.
@kevin. i think the greater question is why do these family members beat each other so much in the first place?
Excellent post man!
I strongly agree with your point that the Strong Relationships with your customer is the key,and Use the Language Your Customers Use. These two points are the main key points which we have to focus in B2B Marketing.
