@devopscats From GPT4O:

The classic puzzle with a man, a goat, and usually other items (like a wolf and cabbage) involves specific rules about who or what can be left alone with whom or what. However, since you mentioned only a man and a goat, I'll assume that the task is to get both across the river using the boat.

Here's a straightforward solution assuming the boat can carry both the man and the goat at the same time:
1. The man and the goat both get into the boat.
2. The man rows the boat across the river with the goat.
3. Both the man and the goat get out of the boat on the other side of the river.

If there are additional constraints (e.g., the boat can only carry one at a time), please provide those details.
