if we take each 364(365-N(n=1)) 363(365-N(n=2)) 362(365-N(n=3)) as (365-N) and increment it by one each time, N would equal 23 when the equation would go over 1/2

Let's make this the official answer for 3 and I'll give Kymera a single for having the right answer.

You're in the army.

You are standing at the edge of a gorge which has a rope bridge crossing it. It is pitch black and you only have one light.

You know the bridge is going to be blown up in 17 minutes and you have to get your 3 men and yourself across the bridge within 17 minutes before the bridge blows up.

It takes you 1 minute to cross the bridge.
B takes 2 minutes to get across
C is a bit overweight and takes 5 minutes to get across
D has been injured and takes 10 minutes to get across.

The bridge can only hold the weight of 2 men at any given time. One of you needs to always return with the light as it is impossible to get across the bridge when you can't see. Whoever crosses must always take the time of the slower person as they have to help them.

How do you save everybody?


__________
You and B go first (2 minutes) - 2 minutes elapsed
You run back - add 1 minute = 3 elapsed
C and D go over - 10 minutes = 13 elapsed
B goes back to pick up you - 2 minutes = 15 elapsed
You and B go over again - 2 minutes = 17 elapsed

I take B over (2 minutes)
I return with the lamp (1 minute)
C takes D over (10 minutes)
B returns with the lamp (2 minutes)
Me and B make the final crossing (2 minutes)

Total = 17 minutes and get on the floor for the explosion!

Aww .. 'hole in plot' alert for a wotpp.. did you miss basic training or what ? :p - shinning a light in the pitch black, is like putting a 200ft neon sign on your head in the middle of an otherwise targetless battlefield & will no doubt get you shot , before you have any need to worry about any explosions !

Anyone have any more brainiac questinos to suggest?


PM me please. ;)

I'm pretty sure I PMed you 5 questions, but only a couple have been used...

Thinking is not my strong point today, so it's probably a good thing there aren't any questions. :sad:

Yeah, about those questions you submitted... they sucked. ;)
