Hey everyone, I recently joined this group, so I thought I'd add a short interview/ logic puzzle that I remember hearing. Hopefully it wasnt already said. Part of the fun is the story, so here it goes...
Four people have been running away from a pack of zombies, and are now injured in varying degrees. It is already nighttime, and they have come upon a bridge. They must cross the bridge as fast as possible before the pack of zombies comes upon them, but the bridge is very dark, slippery, and cannot support much weight. There is one flashlight. Rules: * the bridge must be crossed with the flashlight, only two people at most. A return trip must be made (the flashlight cannot be thrown back, etc) * the four people cross the bridge at different speeds: 1minute, 2 minutes, 5 min, and 10min. A trip time is determined by the slowest person. So if the 1min crosses together with the 5min, the trip time is 5min. *if a person falls off the bridge, he/she goes to /dev/null ;P So what is the fastest way for everyone to cross the bridge, and how long does that take? ~icy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
