    Cannibal and missionary there (or two cannibals). Missionary back (cannibal).

    Two cannibals there one back.

    Two missionaries there. Missionary and cannibal back.

    Two missionaries there.

    Now three missionaries and a cannibal moved to the other bank. The cannibal can now travel his friends one by one.
