bridge  aha:!!

problem: this one is a classic that many of you have probably already heard, but all the more reason why it should definitely be included here. four people are on this side of the bridge. the bridge will be destroyed by a bomb in 17 minutes. everyone has to get across before that. problem is that it's dark and so you can't cross the bridge without a flashlight, and they only have one flashlight. plus the bridge is only big enough for two people to cross at once. the four people walk at different speeds: one fella is so fast it only takes him 1 minute to cross the bridge, another 2 minutes, a third 5 minutes, the last it takes 10 minutes to cross the bridge. when two people cross the bridge together (sharing the flashlight), they both walk at the slower person's pace. can they all get across before the bridge blows up?

person A: 1 minute
person B: 2 minutes
person C: 5 minutes
person D:10 minutes
