I've been trying to solve this problem.
I have to move four horses from A to B
Neddy does the journey in 1 hour
Dobbin - 2 hours
Trigger - 4 hours
Lightning - 6 hours
I can only take two horses at a time, and I have to ride one back.
What is the shortest amount of time needed to get all the horses from point A to point B?
Sadie gave up within 10 mins, Bridie is still trying. Sadie's logic: "I'm cleverer than Bridie because I was quicker to realise that I couldn't do it..." |

You can adapt the puzzle so it uses people. There is a bridge and a group of people, the bridge is only wide enough for 2 people at once to cross. It is dark, and there is only a single lantern. The people take different amounts of time to cross the bridge: 1 minute, 2 minutes, 4 minutes and 6 minutes. If two people travel at once the crossing will take as long as the slowest person. The people must cross with the lantern and somebody must return with the lantern for others to cross. The answer is still 13. |
