Another Odd Rafting Trip

There are 8 people that need to cross the river on a raft.
Only 2 can be on the raft at a time.
There is a Red Indian Chief and his two daughters. A Cowboy with his two sons. A policeman with a criminal.
The Red Indian Chief cannot be with any of the Cowboy's sons or he will kill them, unless the Cowboy is present.
The Cowboy cannot be with any of the Chief's daughters or he will kill them, unless the Chief is present.
The policeman must be with the criminal at all times or the criminal will escape.
Only the Policeman, Chief and Cowboy know how to operate the raft.
Try getting everyone across.

SideNotes:
The Red Indian Chief and Cowboy will not kill each other. Well you can say they know they are evenly matched so fighting is pointless.
And when I mean they cannot be together, it means either together on shore or on the raft.

Well it will take a while but it is possible. Have fun. :D

So You Know Maths

Can you think of a non prime number so that all its divisors is visible in the number itself ?

For example divisor of 13 is 1 and 13 so it satisfy the first condition but its a prime so not the second. You have to find a non prime. Your time starts now...

The Odd Rafting Trip

There are 8 people that need to cross a river on a raft. Only 2 people can be on the raft at a time. There is the Mom, Dad, two sons, two daughters, a policeman, and a criminal. The Mom can't be left alone with any of the sons, for she beats them (its just the rules, go with it), and the Dad can't be left alone with any of the daughters (same reason). The criminal can't be left alone without the officer or else he hurts everyone. Only the Officer, the Mom, and the Dad know how to operate the raft. Get Everyone Across.

A zebra?? and water??!!

There are five houses.

The Ukrainian drinks tea.

The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.

The Spaniard owns the dog.

Coffee is drunk in the green house.

An Englishman lives in the red house.

Kools are smoked in the yellow house.

The Old Gold smoker owns snails.

Milk is drunk in the middle house.

An Englishman lives in the red house.

The Norwegian lives in the first house.

Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.

The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.

Kools are smoked in the yellow house.

The Japanese smokes Parliaments.

The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.

Now, if it is given that a resident drinks water and the same OR another has a zebra, which one is it?(or which ones are they)

PS: I hope this is good enough... the standard has gone down a little.

A fox, hen and a basket of corn

This is a very old logic puzzle. Maybe in will be fun for some newbies.

A man had a fox, a hen and a basket of corn. He came to a river. There was a canoe there, but he could only take himself and one other thing in the canoe. If left unattend, the fox would eat the hen, or the hen eat the corn.

How did he manage to get himself and all three items across the river?
