Answer: Bridge Crossing

In the river crossing puzzle, the farmer is the only person who could operate the boat. Therefore the solution is to find minimum number of trips the farmer has to make to bring the wolf, the goat and the cabbage to the other side of the river without leaving the wolf and the goat or the goat and cabbage alone.

In this bridge crossing puzzle, however, we know they have to make 5 trips altogether, so the question is to find the trips of the shortest time. Read the answer here.
