* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Homer manages to solve the classic FoxChickenGrainPuzzle, but fails to gain the desired result when he puts it into practice as leaving the commodities (in this case Maggie) unattended on the opposite riverbank causes its own problems.

He probably also should have expected that Santa's Little Helper (the "fox") would try following him across the river upon being left on the bank.

Added DiffLines:

* CluelessMystery: {{Lampshaded}}; over the course of the episode the audience is presented with three riddles to solve, but while the first two are solvable by the viewer (in fact, the first is the classic FoxChickenGrainPuzzle), the caption of the third, an anagram, asks the audience if it wants to "try" to solve the riddle while admitting, "We can't." The actual answer is phrased as a rebuke toward Lisa's failed first attempt.
-->'''Lisa:''' You know, I have to point out that this only makes sense if I get the wrong answer first.
