Students in fifth grade STEM class solved a special conundrum last week!

They had three lions and three wildebeests that had to cross a river, without the lions outnumbering the wildebeests on either side, while also having a max of two animals on the raft at each time, and one to row it back to the other side. How'd they do it?
