Get The Soldiers Across The Bridge - Critical Thinking Game
http://thejook.com/images/task.jpg
4 Soldiers, each with the time it takes them to get across the bridge next to them. There is a hole in the bridge (that's that cheap black spot on there), which is why ONE of the TWO soldiers who may pass at a given time MUST carry the flashlight. The soldiers must FULLY get across the bridge, since both must have the flash light to look out for the hole. The flashlight cannot be tossed or anything stupid like that. It may be passed around on a side and be given to different soldiers on a certain side of the bridge. As long as you follow the rules, you may do as you wish. (this was a complaint by one of my friends, who said he did not know he had the option to do something). Enjoy. And please don't post the answer. |
I've done this before. Except with the members of U2
Apparently this used to be part of the application to join Microsoft. You had to finish this puzzle to get a job. Wow. |
So...you need a flashlight to get over the hole, and you can pass the light over the hole, right?

Whooo! I figured it out. :p

I'm assuming that oddguy has just posted the solution, hence spoiling it for anyone like myself who thought "Please don't post the solution" would be followed. I'm only assuming though, I'm not foolish enough read it before finding the solution.
EDIT: I have a solution... how do I find out whether I'm right without reading the answer? Nevermind, I'll just irritate hobo with it tomorrow. |
Whooops, I meant to just give a link to the solution...not display it.
Sorry: :fuzemb: -oddguy |
