You have one fox and two chickens that you need to get across a river. You can only take one at a time in the rowboat. The fox will eat the chickens if left alone. How do you get them all over?

Alive without breath, As cold as death; Never thirsty, ever drinking, All in mail never clinking.

#9 is true because the rest must be false for one to be true

You don't have to name one number as answer, there can be more than one statement true.

If number 9 is true, there are 9 or more false. If 9 or more are false, won't number 1 till 8 be true too, and thus making number 9 false again? Answer is therefore not correct.

Finally one, that ain't solved that easy.

If none of them were true, that would mean 10 are false. If 10 are false, that would also mean all 10 are actually true. So, no luck with that answer.
