Crossing a Pond

You have a dog, a cock and a sack of grain. You want to cross a pond, but you can only carry one at a time. If you leave the dog with the cock, the dog will eat the cock; if you leave the cock with the grain the cock will eat the grains.

How can you get all three across safely?

    you cross the cock first. then the grain. then you take the cock with you and cross to the first place. leave the cock alone, carrying the dog with you. you leave the dog with the grain and cross last time to pick up the cock

    You have to put a condition as well in your above mentioned question is that "In a one go boat can be occupied by only two of them".

    Now , the answer given by you is correct else without condition many answers are possible for this question.

    Well this is a very good effort done by you, keep going and keep asking such tricky question which is very helpful for many.
