Riddle of the Day.

Four people arrive at a river with a narrow bridge that can only hold two people at a time. It’s nighttime and they have one torch that has to be used when crossing the bridge. Person A can cross the bridge in one minute, B in two minutes, C in five minutes, and D in eight minutes. When two people cross the bridge together, they must move at the slower person’s pace. Can they all get across the bridge in 15 minutes or less?

During which month do people sleep the least?

Yesterday's answer: Yes, they can cross in exactly 15 minutes. The group of four must follow these three steps.

First, A and B cross the bridge and A brings the light back. This takes 3 minutes.
Next, C and D cross and B brings the light back. This takes another 10 minutes.
Finally, A and B cross again. This takes another 2 minutes.

They didn't go forward straight ahead but forward with a turn.

Correct, Ray....

An tricky one this..

Huh? Two in one day?

If you mean Canuckle...you are right....

You’re in a dark room with a candle, a wood stove, and a gas lamp. You only have one match, so what do you light first?

The match

It is, DF.............
