Dear autumn98,

Correct me if I am wrong, but this appears to be a homework question.
It is my duty to refer to Google Answers' policy concerning this kind
of questions:

1) take goose to SideB
2) return to SideA empty handed
3) Take the dog to SideB
3) Return to SideA with the Goose
4) Take the corn to SideB
5) Return to SideA empty handed
6) take the goose to SideB

Who oh why is there a subcategory called "Homework Help" under the
"Reference, Education and News" category?

Another solution:

The farmer sits down to think about the problem and munches away on
the corn while doing so.  Then he remembers his goose is a really
excellent swimmer, so he loads the dog in the boat and ties the goose
to the front.

He climbs in with the remainder of the corn, which he tosses piecemeal
in front of the goose to trick it into pulling the boat across the
river.

Dear nelson-ga,

"Homework Help" is not the same as "do my homework for me"...
