Puzzle Idea #2

Introduction

In the Past player is in front of a brook, while in the Future player is in front of a two-way road with trees between the two directions.

The brook is generally very wide, but as one spot it is narrow. This spot can be reached by walking on the left lane of the Future.

The player needs to find something to put over the brook to go across.

There are 3 pieces of wooden boards in the Past.

• Board 1 is very long, enough to be put on anywhere along the brook to go across it. However, the location of Board 1 is not reachable in the Future.
• Board 2 is close to the brook, but is not long enough even for the narrow part of the brook.
• Board 3 is reachable through the right lane of the road in the Future, but is not long enough to go across the river there. It is long enough to be put on the left part of the brook.
