Reason
Continuation of the series from Urania's Mirror. Canis Major was probably the hardest so far, due to some extensive damage, but think I managed.
Puzzle: Auriga wants to ferry Lynx, Canis Major and Lepus across The Sea. However, Argo Navis is only big enough to hold Auriga and one of the animals ever since Pyxis was split off it. If left alone together, Lynx will eat Lepus, and, likewise, Canis Major will fight with Lynx. How can Auriga get them across?
