Can you solve this Riddle?

mtoutlaw_87 asked:


You have 5 people. Pepe, Jodi, Rocky, Ricky, and Duncan. They each have 5 dogs. Bingo, Cujo, Sherry, Tino, and Boots. They come to a river. They rent a boat, which can only hold 3 living beings or less. The catch is that Bingo is the only dog that can drive the boat. The other catch is that if a dog is in the presence of people, the owner must be present, this includes the boat. How can you get them all across? Please help, this is driving me insane!!! The dogs are listed in the same order as their owners, in case you get confused.
The owners can drive the boat as well.

    Please clarify: are you saying that none of the -people- can drive the boat?

    make multiple trips across the river with each dog staying with it’s owner….the owners do the driving…i don’t know,these things always confuse me

    think about it logically, it’s some wat impossible because if you have two dogs in there, you can only carry one owner which is either bingo’s or the other dog’s owner which makes it impossible

    Duncan takes boots then comes back and grabs the next owner and dog. Duncan continues to come back and grab each owner and its dog. Duncan would be the one driving for all trips.
