Tie Leviathan to the boat and tow him on each leg of the trip. Then proceed as you would have to transport the other three.
first he takes the chicken across and leaves it, the fox will not eat the corn and the leviathan will not eat the fox with the corn there. he leaves the chicken on the other side and returns. on the second trip he takes the fox across and brings back the chicken. the third trip he takes half of the corn. the forth trip he takes the leviathan. the fifth trip he takes the other half of the corn. the sixth trip he takes the chicken again. it will take six trips but everything arrives safely. the leviathan is never left alone with the fox or the chicken without corn, the chicken is never left a lone with the corn, and the fox and chicken are never left alone.
