The Beatles have to be at a concert across the river in 17 minutes. The
problem is that the
bridge across the river is very weak and is strong enough to hold only
two people at a time
(only two people can cross at a time). They have only one flashlight
and anybody crossing
the river must have the flashlight at all times. John can cross the
bridge in 1 minute, Paul
needs 2 minutes, George needs 5 minutes and Ringo needs 10. can they
make it to the concert in time? If so, how?
You never said how wide or deep the river was. So either they cross the river through it or they throw the torch back to each other. :p
It's a times like this that <insert funny noun here> is really <insert silly adjective here> but I'm O.K. because <insert pop culture reference here> helps me through <insert daily occupation here>
