Bridge puzzle
By: ravusairam Date: November 29, 2012, 10:33 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Four people are on this side of the bridge. the bridge will be
destroyed by a bomb in 17 minutes.
everyone has to get across before that. problem is that it's
dark and so you can't
cross the bridge without a flashlight, and they only have one
flashlight. plus the
bridge is only big enough for two people to cross at once. the
four people walk at
different speeds: one fella is so fast it only takes him 1
minute to cross the
bridge, another 2 minutes, a third 5 minutes, the last it takes
10 minutes to cross
the bridge. when two people cross the bridge together (sharing
the flashlight),
they both walk at the slower person's pace. can they all get
across before the
bridge blows up?
