I have a problem:


Farmer (marked with 'f' ), tiger ( 't'), goat ( 'g'), carrot ('c') want =
to cross the river by boat from the eastern side (marked with 'e') to =
the western side (marked with 'w').
Current state is defined by list. First element of the list represents =
f, second represents t, then g etc.=20
List (e w e w) represents state in which farmer and goat are on the =
eastern side of the river and tiger and carrot are on the western side.
Initial state is ( e e e e ) and final stateis ( w w w w ).
Construct a procedure which will describe the way threw all legal =
states, starting at the initial state  and ending at the final state =
knowing that only f can drive the boat, that only two objects can be in =
the boat at the same time.
 t and g can never stay alone at the same side of the river.
The same applies for g and c.
The program needs to contain recursive procedures.

example:

>(solve-ftgc '( e e e e ) '( w w w w ))  ;; initial and final states
((E E E E)          ;; initial state  - all objects on the eastern side =
of the river
(W E W E)         ;; f takes g to the western side
(E E W E)          ;; f returnes alone to the eastern side
(W W W E)        ;; f takes t to the western side
(E W E E)          ;; f takes g back to the eastern side
(W W E W)        ;;f takes c to the western side ( g stays at the =
eastern side )
(E W E W)         ;;f returnes alone to the eastern side
(W W W W ))     ;;f takes g to the western side, final state


Thank's!!!
Please send the solution to this problem!!!

Do your own homework!!!

If you're having trouble, post your partial solution and/or ask specific
questions.  Don't just ask for the solution.

Do your homework for you, and then mail you the answer?

No thanks.

Also, please do not put a hundred lines of HTML coded garbage at
the end of your Usenet article.

This problem (I think in my copy of the Moscow puzzles the animals
involved are a goose and a fox but what ever) was discussed a few months
ago on this newgroup. My advice would to search deja.com.

Cheers,
