2. A voter with a rowboat finds herself in an unusual situation. On one side of a river is Bob Dole, Bill Clinton and a big bag of Burger King Whoppers. The voter must get Dole, Clinton and the Whoppers across the river to the other side. Her boat, however, is large enough for her and just one other item or person. If she leaves Dole alone with Clinton, then Dole (an old war veteran) will beat up Clinton. If she leaves Clinton alone with the bag of Whoppers, then Clinton (a big burger lover) will devour the entire contents of the bag. Of course, Dole, Clinton and the bag are all incapable of rowing the boat across the river. Is it possible for this voter to get all her cargo across the river? If so, carefully explain her method; if not, carefully explain why not.
