arrite people this one requires thinking. but its pretty easy. There are four people that need to walk across a bridge in the middle of the night to get to the other side. Only two people can cross the bridge at a time and they have only 1 flashlight, which they all must use to cross the bridge. They need to cross the bridge and have all four people on the other side in 17 minutes. One person can cross the bridge in 1 minute, another person can cross the bridge in 2 minutes, another in 5 minutes and the other in 10 minutes. How do all four people get across the bridge in 17 minutes using 1 flashlight? (No, you cannot throw the flashlight across the bridge for the other two people to use to cross over.) ---

Muha, I found it! Yeehaw! So, 1 & 2 go at the same time. It takes them 2 minutes to get there. The 1 minute guy stays at the end, the 2 min. guy returns: **4 mins.** Hands the flashlight over at the 5 & 10 min. guys. They go over in 10 mins, which makes for **14 mins**. The 1 min. guy who is still there returns with the flashlight to the beginning (and the 2 min. guy) in 1 minute —\> **15 minutes**. Then the 1 minute guy and the 2 minute guy go again in 2 minutes, which makes for **17 minutes.** :beam: ---

sorry firegambler i just gave up on urs so i am posting some new ones There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time? ---
