Boring.

Posted by Racoonmario Sep. 10, 2008 @ 10:52 AM EDT

It's boring here.

4 men want to cross a bridge which will explode in 17 minutes.
Man #1 needs one minute to cross the bridge.
Man #2 needs 2 minutes.
Man #3 needs 5 minutes.
Man #4 needs 10 minutes.
The bridge can carry a maximum of two men at once.
It is very dark and in order to cross the bridge they need to carry a flashlight with them.
They only have one flashlight.

PM me with the answer.

PM from Cericon:
There is a hole in the wall that they walk through.

No. This riddle can and must be solved with pure logic. It's possible.

PM from Ehwaz003:
OK, I think I know the answer: they all cross the bridge at once, with the flashlight of course.
Why? Because, according to your picture, the TNT is a bit under the bridge, so with 4 people on a bridge which can only carry 2 at one, the bridge will bend, BUT it will stop from breaking because it lands on the big red box of TNT, and as a support, it will make the bridge last until all 4 have safely crossed the bridge.

Nice idea, honestly. But there really is no such trick in this riddle.

I curse MS Paint for the loss of color in this picture.

I repeat - It is possible to solve this.

whos holding the flashlisght?

Sep. 10, 2008 | 4:22 PM Racoonmario responds:

You decide. They can give it to each other. But they are not allowed to throw the flashlight.


Sep. 11, 2008 | 6:10 AM SapphireLight says:

do you HAVE to have the flashlight with you in order to cross, or does one guy being on the other side with the flashlight provide you with the light

Sep. 11, 2008 | 6:41 AM Racoonmario responds:

You cannot cross the bridge wthout the flashlight.

This same question was asked by my math teacher when I was in my fifth or sixth grade and I can't answer it but now, I can

Sep. 13, 2008 | 11:48 AM Racoonmario responds:

Yeah, this is probably too hard for most of the kids in that age.
