Everybody has to cross the river

This is a fun little IQ test from China: “Everybody has to cross the river”

The object:
Fairly cut and dry. Try to get everyone to the other side of the river.

The following rules apply:
- Only 2 persons on the raft at a time
- The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother’s presence
- The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father’s presence
- The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there
- Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft
