80. Problem invented by the learned monk and mathematician from Ireland Alcuin (735–804).
The peasant needs to transport a wolf, a goat and a cabbage across the river. But the boat is such that only a peasant can fit in it, and with him either one wolf, or one goat, or one cabbage. But if you leave a wolf with a goat, then the wolf will eat the goat, and if you leave a goat with cabbage, then the goat will eat the cabbage. How did the peasant transport his cargo?
Solution 1.: It is clear that we have to start with a goat. The peasant, having transported the goat, returns and takes the wolf, which he transports to the other bank, where he leaves it, but he also takes the goat and takes it back to the first bank. Here he leaves her and transports the cabbage to the wolf. Then, returning, he transports the goat, and the crossing ends safely. Solution 2: First, the peasant again transports the goat. But the second one can take the cabbage, take it to the other bank, leave it there and return the goat to the first bank. Then transport the wolf to the other side, return for the goat and again take her to the other side.

Everyone knows the riddle: “What can you cook, but cannot eat?” And, like every riddle, it has an answer. And the only correct one. So, at least, think the smart people who wrote this thoughtful question.
Correct answer
The authors of this masterpiece believe that every sane person should know that you can cook, but cannot eat, only homework. This question was probably thought up by schoolchildren who have extremely little life experience. Apart from preparing homework, they do nothing else.
But in fact, the answer to the riddle “what can be cooked, but cannot be eaten?” great multitude. Another question: why are there many answers to this riddle, and not just one? And this riddle will be much more interesting than the one that prompted us to take a deeper look at the problem.
Why the riddle: “What can you cook, but cannot eat?” are there multiple answers?
You, of course, know the correct answers to many children's riddles. How do you answer this question: “What can you cook, but cannot eat?”
We are sure that a light bulb flashed before your eyes. But this is from a completely different riddle - about a pear that cannot be eaten, despite the fact that it is hanging. Then memories probably flashed about all sorts of exotic cuisines, such as Korean, with boiled and stewed dogs, Vietnamese and Chinese, in which it is customary to eat anything that can independently walk, crawl, swim or fly. And you probably also remembered the favorite dish of the ancient Vikings - rotten shark meat, six months ago. But all this, apparently, is edible, since the peoples who consume such exotic dishes are healthy and even prospering.
And the correct answer to the question of what can be cooked, but cannot be eaten, is not even one - lessons, concrete mortar, bed, clothes, glue or surprise. All this...

Which ones are correct? answers in the game "100 to 1"?
100 to 1. What can you cook, but cannot eat?
And I didn’t even immediately find such an association, but you can prepare an assignment or lessons, but you definitely won’t be able to eat them.
It was the lessons that most people first remembered when answering this question in the game:
Surprise
Clothes (prepare for tomorrow)
Bed (who has maids who prepare the bed in advance)

The authors of this masterpiece believe that every sane person should know that you can cook, but cannot eat, only homework. This question was probably thought up by schoolchildren who have extremely little life experience. Apart from preparing homework, they do nothing else.
But in fact, the answer to the riddle “what can be cooked, but cannot be eaten?” great multitude. Another question: why are there many answers to this riddle, and not just one? And this riddle will be much more interesting than the one that prompted us to take a deeper look at the problem.
Why the riddle: “What can you cook, but cannot eat?” are there multiple answers?
It turns out that the reason is hidden in the ambiguity of the verb “to prepare.” After all, you can prepare not only a delicious dish, but also homework! So the authors decided to play on this feature of the word.
They only did not take into account the fact that a person can prepare very, very many things: concrete mortar, bricks, boards, fabric for sewing, a bed, a bath, a meeting, a manuscript for a set, a student for an exam, an amateur performance, a meeting, news, a surprise , role, clothes, glue, bat for striking, boxing gloves for practice, syringe for injection, room for a guest... And this list goes on and on!
That’s why you shouldn’t rush to answer the question of what you can cook but cannot eat. This riddle, it must be said frankly, is not composed very correctly. After all, if you follow the authors of this masterpiece, you should assume that it is quite possible to have breakfast with the boots you prepared in the evening for going out, or to chew out of boredom the saw that your father brought from the barn, intending to start repairing the table in the morning. And this is a picture from the series: “Robin Bobin Barabek ate forty people”...
Although some people on our planet happily eat pieces of lime and dried clay instead of cakes, while others happily swallow buttons and push pins. But this is rather the exception than the rule.
Humorous answers to the riddle
Indeed, the question is worthy of KVN: “What can you cook, but cannot eat?” The answer can be truly stunning!
How, for example, can one feel about such an option as “breakfast prepared by my wife”? Only with humor, dear reader! Because immediately before your eyes there appears a picture of the faces of your spouse, child, and guests, distorted with disgust, diligently hiding their feelings...
The answer will be quite instructive: “Crib sheet.” Let’s be honest, when preparing this attribute for an exam or test, everyone implicitly understands: it is likely that they will not be able to use it, therefore, in order not to get caught with it, the question will arise about... eating it! But there is no way to do this - a friend and fellow student asked me to give the cheat sheet to him after the exam. I also planned to try my luck...
You can also prepare a dish by first poisoning it. Also, by the way, an answer option. True, this is more suitable for writing a historical novel about troubled times, when kings and kings, shahs and padishahs, as well as various other nobles and viziers, in short, poisoners, still lived on earth.
You, of course, know the correct answers to many children's riddles. How do you answer this question: “What can you cook, but cannot eat?”
We are sure that a light bulb flashed before your eyes. But this is from a completely different riddle - about a pear that cannot be eaten, despite the fact that it is hanging.

And the correct answer to the question of what can be cooked, but cannot be eaten, is not even just one - lessons, concrete mortar, bed, clothes, glue or a surprise. All this is really prepared, but it’s difficult to classify them as edible things. Except for a surprise, which may turn out to be a cake, or homework, if in home economics class they were asked to prepare a salad. Particularly corrosive skeptics will not fail to recall the fact that in times of famine people also ate glue, in particular wallpaper and casein glue, since they were prepared from starch and skim milk. But this, as they say, is a completely extreme option.
But young husbands and their no less young wives are quite capable of giving other answers to the question of what can be cooked, but cannot be eaten. They can laugh and remember how the newlywed, trying to feed her betrothed breakfast, mixed up the ingredients and sprinkled soda on the eggs instead of salt. Or, like a young husband, having decided to give his soul mate a surprise, he prepared pancakes, pouring a tablespoon of the same soda into the dough instead of a teaspoon. All this can indeed be prepared, but cannot be eaten, since even the greatest love is not able to overcome the disgusting taste of the resulting dishes.
Yes, everyone has culinary failures, but not everyone can fix them. And even such a seemingly ordinary phenomenon as oversalting is often a real tragedy.
But it's quite easy to fix. Of course, only if you really slightly salted the dish. And they didn’t throw an almost full pack into it or didn’t fry the chicken in rancid fat. In the latter cases, when asked what can be cooked but cannot be eaten, feel free to answer: “My culinary delights.”
How to fix the situation with oversalting? If you have oversalted the soup, then pour a little rice into a gauze bag and throw it into the broth. Over-salted meat dishes can be saved by completely unsalted gravy, but if such a problem happens to vegetables, then it is easier to process them into puree, adding a few new ingredients, completely unsalted, as you yourself understand.
You can read about how to fix burnt food in any home economics book in the “Little Tricks” section. And let your motto be: if we spoil it, we’ll fix it, cook it and eat it!
Just please, not a solution. And not glue. Good luck in life and in cooking!
