    Bring the chicken over first, Because the fox won't eat the corn. Come back then grab the fox, then when you get to the other side, grab the chicken and bring it back. Then grab the corn and come back empty handed (Foxes don't like corn!) then grab the chicken and go back over once more. Everything is on the otherside with nothing being eaten.

    Take Chicken to other side. Get the Corn and take it to the other side. Bring the Chicken back. Set the Chicken back where it started and take the Fox. Then go back and get the Chicken.

    Shoot the Fox, eat the chicken and cook the corn.

    snare the fox like most farmers do, cook the chicken so you have strength to cross the river with the heavy corn.

    How about that, problem solved.
