Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure Hints

Test 3 -- Logic Problem

  • 1 of 8: This puzzle reminds me of the old goose-fox-corn puzzle, but it's actually what's called the jealous husbands puzzle, with an ancient Egyptian flavor.
  • 2 of 8: In general, you're trying to move all eight parties from the right bank to the left using a boat that only holds two people. No attendant can travel or be left alone with a different pharaoh, but it's okay to leave attendants with attendants or pharaohs with pharaohs. Make sense?
  • 3 of 8: Any way you can accomplish this is good, but this is how I did it.
  • 4 of 8: Green pharaoh and green attendant go left; green attendant goes right.
  • 5 of 8: Pink pharaoh and pink attendant go left; pink attendant goes right.
  • 6 of 8: Orange pharaoh and orange attendant go left; orange attendant goes right.
  • 7 of 8: Orange attendant and pink attendant go left; green pharaoh goes right.
  • 8 of 8: Green pharaoh and green attendant go left.
