A fox, a goose and a bag of corn - how do you get them across the river without one of them being eaten...? Robin Wilson, Gresham Professor of Geometry, gives a quick run-through of the origins of the problem and the basis of how to solve it.

This is the third part of 'A Millennium of Mathematical Puzzles'.
The full lecture is available (in 24 parts) here on YouTube, or it can be downloaded (like all of our lectures) in its complete form from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats:
http://www.gresham.ac.uk

Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.
