There are three guards and three prisoners who need to cross a river. Their boat only holds two people at a time, and the number of prisoners must NEVER be allowed to outnumber the number of guards on either side of the river; otherwise, the prisoners will overpower the guards and, well, the story will come to an abrupt end. List each of the trips that need to be made and who is in the boat, and who is on each of the riverbanks during each trip. How many trips it will take to safely transport all of the guards and prisoners across the river? | Thinkmad.in
