put 1 in 8, come back=9
put 1 in 4=5
put 1 in 2=2

9+5+2= 16

Erm Murasaki got it =\

Unless you can come up with a less number in the final equation without redisributing them. Taking the 1 boat to bring you back makes the # of days less.


Or 8!

Stack them on top of each other and make 1 trip. for 8 days. And technically the there is only 1 boat in each boat.
1 is in2
2 in4
4 in 8

But technically! He didnt if the boat crossing the river was round trip or whjat.

Yes im being a moron here.

but...

Put 1 in 2=2
2 in4=4
4 in 8=8

8+4+2= 14
