Ok, you have the following:
4 people
A bridge
A lamp/torch
and 17 minutes.......
The scenario is that you've all got to get across the bridge in 17 minutes before the doors close to this amazing concert you all want to see, but it's dark and you need the torch otherwise you will fall to your doom.
The bridge only hold a max of 2 people and the time it takes each of you to cross is as follows:
1st person takes - 1 minute
2nd person takes - 2 minutes
3rd person takes - 5 minutes
4th person takes - 10 minutes
So 2 people have to go across but one has to go back with the torch and so on.
Can you get everyone across in he 17 minutes before those doors close?
Show us your progress (my original time was over 40 minutes LOL so went to the pub instead
)
