I have heard a similar type of IQ question involving a tiger, a goat, and a leaf. The challenge is to transport them to the other side of a river in a boat one by one. If the tiger is dropped off first, the goat will eat the leaf. Conversely, if the leaf is dropped off first, the goat will be eaten by the tiger. I am currently unable to recall the exact story, but it is a popular tale from the Indian countryside. The IQ scenario described above is inspired by that particular story.
