Shibuichi base metal with gold iron.  Inspired by an ancient Chinese legend. It was believed that, if a mother tiger gave birth to three cubs, one was always a leopard (hyo). The mother has to be careful when crossing a river not to leave the ferocious 'hyo' alone at any point with the other two cubs. The puzzle lies in how she manages to transport all three cubs safely across the river, which requires multiple crossings.
