Default Brain Teaser for a Monday

There was a guy who had a Fox, a Chicken, and a bag of Grain. He
had to cross a river to get back home, but he could only take one
item with him at a time. He could only take the fox, or the grain,
or the chicken. Well, if you leave a chicken and a fox on one side
of the river while taking the bag of grain across, the fox will
eat the chicken, same thing with the chicken and the grain. Can't
leave those two alone or the chicken will eat the grain.

How do
you get them all across the river safely?

Take the chicken first and come back.
Get the grain, take it accross and take the chicken back with you.
Leave the chicken and take the fox and come back.
Get the chicken.

The thing is if he had a fox it would have to be in a carrier of some sort, otherwise it'd just run off. Foxes do that see. Also a chicken will eat about a cup of grain in a day max, (I know, I've got one!) so it wouldn't matter if the chicken was left with the grain really.

So the answer is that it you can take them over in any order you want.

Heres one for you guys:

A man is flying over africa and his plane crashes. He survives and begins to try and get to civilisation. He knows his rough location and he knows that there are 2 tribes in the area. He comes across a fork in the road, a tribesman stands at the fork.

His knoledge tells him that 1 of the tribes always tells the truth and will help him to get to freedom. However the other tribe always lie and are canibals, thus will eat him.

What question does he ask the tribesman to reach salvation?

Hope that made sense lol.
