Question:

Is there an answer to tthe Gilles' Bridge Riddle?


Here is the riddle just in case:
The Beatles have a concert in 17 minutes! Unfortunately, they’re still in theUnderworld recovering John and need to cross over the river Styx using a narrow bridgein order to get to the concert. Since it’s dark they need to use a flashlight to cross, butthey only have one between the four of them and the bridge can support only 2 at a time.George only takes a minute to get across, Paul takes 2 minutes, Ringo takes five minutesand John takes ten minutes (hasn’t done a lot of walking lately). They can only cross asfast as the slowest member. How can they get back to the world of the living on time forthe greatest comeback ever?

I have redone this problem many times but i can only get 19 minutes at least.


Answers: http://puzzles.nigelcoldwell.co.uk/twent... if the bridge can't support more than 2 Beatles at a time,then 2 have to undertake the chore of juggling John across,care full not to drop him and being wary of potential homosexuals that might be in the mood for a"cold one" John walks with George (1 mins)
John walks back with torch (8mins)
Ringo walks with Paul (2 mins)
Ring walks back with torch(2 mins)
John walks with Ringo (1 mins)
Total time 14 minutes

Just a guess though
