Just For Fun

Crossing the Exploding Bridge Problem

Q: Four men must cross a rickety footbridge at night. Many planks are missing and the bridge can only hold 2 men at a time, otherwise it will break. The men must use a flashlight to guide themselves across because of missing planks. There is only one flashlight. They cant throw the flash light because its too dark and too risky. The men travel at different speeds. John can cross one way in 1 minute, Bill in 2 minutes, Ralph in 5 minutes, but Chuck needs 10 minutes to cross the span. As luck would have it, in 17 minutes dynamite will collapse the bridge. How do they all get across in time?


A: The solution is to send the two fastest men across first: 2 minutes elapsed. One returns with the light and it does not matter which one: say 2 minutes for a total of 4 minutes. Now the two slowest cross together: 10 minutes for a total of 14 minutes. The fastest returns with the light: 1 minute across, total 15. Finally the two fastest cross together again: 2 minutes and a total elapsed time of 17 minutes. The bridge blows, but they are on the other side just in time.
