Sorry, but an interest in math isn't nearly as dorky as:

The PEOPLES Transportation Ministry has sucessfully transported everyone.

Shortly afterwards, the PEOPLES Security Agency executed the prisoner for Treason, and the mother and father for being whiny bastards.

were the kids send to reeducation camps in the east?

it was easy once i figured out how to get the second kid to the other side.

So that's what CT's posts said...

My problem came once I had three kids on the other side. I don't remember how I got around that problem, so I played the game again. Again, I got around the problem...but I still don't remember how.

[Kuciwalker]

This actually isn't that great a problem. If you diagram it out as a pathfinding problem, ignoring the obviously looping choices, it takes 8 moves to reach a branching point - and once you determine the next two moves, you're basically done.

The obvious symmetry in this problem reduces its complexity to a very low level.

Spoiler:

Send both parents to the far side, bring back con and policeman.

Send poilceman and kid back, policeman the other way pick up con.

ACK!

This was too easy

[Meticulous Man]

Yeah, it didn't take that long. One of my friends needed some instructions, though

I don't see how it has a "new twist". The exact same problem exists in a thirty-year-old book of math puzzles in my bookshelf...

And me and Comrade Tass got it before you.

[Kuciwalker]

Eh, I'd already done the problem...

[Verres]

I havent bothered clicking on the link yet as the letters 'I.Q' put me off - but isn't that just like a human version of that old kids' things about the chicken and fox and grain on a raft? The one the average 7 year old could figure out? At least that one made sense as it followed the basic laws of nature/food chain etc.

If only theoretical physics was that easy.

I'd already have tenure.
