Here is a brain Teaser


A band has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must
all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the
same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the
other side. It is night and there is only one flashlight. A
maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who
crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with
them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth, it cannot
be thrown, etc. Each band member walks at a different speed.
and a pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's
pace:

Lead Singer: 1 minute to cross
Guitarist: 2 minutes to cross
Bassist: 5 minutes to cross
Drummer: 10 minutes to cross

How can you get all four men across in 17 minutes before the
start of the concert?
