Games and puzzles

A little bit of revision about prepositions / expressions of place.

Four couples sit elbow-to-elbow in a crowded dining car. All diners are sitting next to or across from their partners.
- The Wilkes are sitting by the aisle.
- The mustachioed Mr. O'Hara sits beside his wife.
- Mr. Butler sits across from his wife.
using the information above, can you determine where Mrs. Hadley is sitting?

*I suggest you to draw the dining car. It will make it easier!

Here goes a logic puzzle. Use first type conditional sentences to solve the puzzle. if you get blocked, you can visualize the puzzle in: http://www.learn4good.com/games/puzzle/sheep_and_wolf.htm

A man needs to carry a wolf, a sheep and a box of cabbages on a boat. However, it is impossible to
carry them together as long as wolves eat sheep and sheep eat cabbages when no man is around
and he can only carry one at the same time.
