In this scenario, you are noah, and have to get 50 cattle, 50 beasts and 100 birds to the ark. In your way is a saltwater river going through the desert. You also need to bring back 2 beavers, 10 caecillans and 500 units of wood, and you also have a water bowl. There is shelter on each side of the river. You only have a boat that can take one thing at a time.
Rules:
Only move one object at a time.
Don't move a caecillan to a side without the water bowl.
Don't let the beasts outnumber the cattle or birds (birds count as half, but not in weight).
Birds can be moved to the side with the water bowl without the boat, and can bring caecillans.
Don't let the beavers outnumber the caecillans.
Don't leave birds and caecillans together alone.
You cannot move the water bowl after a caecillan move or boatless bird move.

This will take some time to figure out, but to speed things up, have beavers carry the wood across the river for you.
they can't swim, the water is too salty
 
I can... have tardograd2 figure it out for me.
 
If this is in a desert, surely the river would have dried up?

Tell that to the Nile river.

Yeah, but you have to remember the banks of the Nile are actually made of a lot of mud and grows a fair few plants, the banks aren't bone dry.
