robinblokeChristmas Puzzle
There is a river with a boat; on one side there are three chickens and a fox. All the chickens are corn fed, except one who has been steadily building up an immunity to sodium fluoracetate and has eaten enough to kill six grown rhinos. The fox however has a scalpel, duct tape and three plastic spoons that can carry 15 cl each. The boat can contain 45 cu ft of water and travels at three miles an hour upstream and twelve kilometres an hour downstream. The wind is currently blowing at 3 knots in a south south west direction, the river is 16 degrees off parallel from the latitude line. Rain is forecast with a six percent chance of a hurricane developing that will panel everything for six miles into matchsticks. The fox however has home insurance, but no property insurance for his boat unless he can convince the insurance reclaims people that his boat was docked at the time. Lemur population in the area is steadily climbing and passage across the river has a lemurs * (log)34 chance of causing a fatal crash. The water content of the river contains 47% higher than average content of nitrogen, two shopping trolleys and a mutant trout called bob that would make jaws swim for his mother. Bob has just eaten a fishermen stupid enough to try and catch him and has 1 cu foot left of stomach capacity. Virgo is currently in dominance and the moon is waxing although the cloud cover only provides sight of half of the stars. One of the chickens was bitten by a lycanthrope last week and is increasing likely to undergo transformation. Edwina Curry was spotted in the area last week and the Fundamentalist Garden Gnome Front (FGGF) has earmarked the dock as an opportunity target.
What is the chance the fox survives long enough to get home to get shouted at by his wife for going down the pub with his mates last night?
