  "description": "The wolf, goat and cabbage puzzle under the four rules written on this page: the number of bank arrangements (16) and safe arrangements (10), the fewest crossings, both shortest solutions crossing by crossing with each bank after every crossing, the number of solutions that never repeat an arrangement, and every legal crossing between safe arrangements. Found by exhaustive breadth-first search and confirmed by a separate count of crossing sequences. Computed 2026-10-31. License CC BY 4.0.",
