Night bridge - crossing
There are four people who need to cross a bridge at night. The bridge is only wide enough for two people to cross at once. There is only one flashlight for the entire group. When two people cross, they must cross at the slower member's speed. All four people must cross the bridge in 17 minutes, since the bridge will collapse in exactly that amount of time. Here are the times each member takes to cross the bridge:
- Person A: 1 minute
- Person B: 2 minutes
- Person C: 5 minutes
- Person D: 10 minutes
1 Comments:
A+B - A = 2 + 1min
C+D - B = 10 + 2min
A+B = 2min
