Why do you guys make it so complicated?
You can have it this way. I'm sure it can be an answer.
Send two daughters or sons first to the other side.
Send the other two daughters or sons to the other side.
Send over both man and woman to the other side.
Then finally the cop and robber go last.. in fact they can go first even.
This riddle has too many possible outcomes.

How about one very very similar. It's a little less complicated.
You have a boat, a chicken, a sack of corn and a wolf. Why you have a wolf? I don't know.
You must get the chicken, the corn and the wolf onto the boat to reach the other side of the river.
You want to make it as efficient as possible, so there is only one boat trip.
Given the size of the animals and the sack of corn... you can only bring over one animal/item across the deck and onto the boat at a time.
However, the chicken will eat the corn if you leave it unattended and the wolf wll eat the chicken if unattended.
You must find a way to get all three over onto the boat.
How do you do so?
