Guest haigyman Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 since you all liked that silly raft thing so much...'Metallica' have a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each band member walks at a different speed.A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:- James:- 1 minute to cross Cliff:- 2 minutes to cross Kirk:- 5 minutes to cross Lars:- 10 minutes to crossFor example: If James and Lars walk across first, 10 minutes haveelapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Lars thenreturns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and youhave failed the mission.Notes:- There is no trick behind this. It is the simple movement ofresources in the appropriate order. There are 2 known answers to thisproblem. Microsoft expect you to answer this question in under 5minutes.[EDIT] maybe i should've put "LESS so"...cause thinking about it this is quite simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 James and Cliff = 2 minsJames walks half way across the bridge and shines the light for Kirk to see = 1/2 minJames and Kirk = 5 minsJames walks half way across the bridge and shines the light for Lars to see = 1/2 minJames and Lars = 10 mins18 mins..so they're a little late, im sure the gig will still be fine or... James give them all piggy-backs and then they get there super fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 yesh.. hurrah!!! well done *i still like the idea of piggy-backs tho*..or, indiana jones style, cut the end of the bridge (hoping its a wooden one), grab hold of the end, and swing to the other side, and all climb up it like a vertical ladder or, get the helicopter right behind..or, plan out your time of leaving the house more appropriately..or, just be late.
