Crossing the Bridge
Alice, Bob, Carrie, and Dan have to cross a rickety bridge. The bridge can only hold two people at a time. They also have a flashlight, and one person on the bridge must be always holding the flashlight. Alice can cross the bridge in 1 minute, Bob can cross the bridge in 2 minutes, Carrie can cross the bridge in 5 minutes, and Dan can cross the bridge in 10 minutes. What is the fastest amount of time that all four of them can cross the bridge?
This problem has no tricks, no one is carrying another person, dragging them, running, etc.
There is a good answer and a best answer
You are as fast as the slowest person on the bridge
