Do you have what it takes to answer this skill testing question????? U2" 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. There is 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 differentspeed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:-
Bono:- 1 minute to cross
Edge:- 2 minutes to cross
Adam:- 5 minutes to cross
Larry:-10 minutes to cross
For example: If Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes
have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry
then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed
and you have failed the mission.
Notes:- There is no trick behind this. It is the simple movement
of resources in the appropriate order. There are two known answers
to this problem. This is based on a question Microsoft gives to all
prospective employees. Note: Microsoft expects you to answer this
question in under 5 minutes!"
It is solveable, anyone know the answer ?
