Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Okay, but what if I have a lamb, a cabbage, and a wolf? Obviously I can only bring one at a time over the wall, but the lamb will eat the cabbage if I'm not there...

Is that from a riddle?

Based on what you've given so far, you can just take the lamb first, since the wolf won't eat the cabbage.

The original riddle is a boat or gondola across the river that can only fit yourself and one thing.

It's not that hard of a riddle, it's just that you have to apply the same logic to the other side too.

Right, but what do you take next? And what do you do when you're going back to get the third thing, leaving whatever's on the other side unsupervised?

But then what are you putting over the fence next?

What if you eat the wolf first

That's some genius-level out of the box thinking. You're hired!

Wolf eats sheep while you're yeeting the cabbage.

No it doesn't. The problem is what happens on the other side of the fence before you get there.

I have the wolf, the sheep and the cabbage under my complete control while they are on my side of the fence
