Shotty Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 i am the beginning of the end, and hte end of time and space. wat am i?--------------------------------The four Gabrianni brothers have 17 minutes to catch the midnight train out of town. To reach the station they must all cross a narrow bridge BUT... it's dark, they only have one torch and the bridge can only carry a maximum of TWO people at once. Any person or couple crossing the bridge MUST have the torch with them. The torch must be carried across, it cannot be thrown. Each brother walks at a different speed and a pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace. Chainsaw Charlie: 1 minute to cross Numbers: 2 minutes to cross Half-Smile: 5 minutes to cross Weasel: 10 minutes to cross (because they made him carry all the cases.) For example: If Chainsaw and Weasel cross first it will take 10 minutes. If Weasel comes back with the torch, that's 20 minutes gone and they missed the train! How did they catch the train?

Decepticon Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I have known this one, cant remember the correct answer...option 1: they build a catapult and shoot everybody to the other side 8) option 2: the bridge can carry only 2 people, BUT if they sit on chainsaw charlies back they all take 1 minute to cross. -> 2+2+2=6 minutes to cross, :idea: hey that way they can even let weasel go on foot this way. 2+2+1+10= 15option 3: they call a cab :roll:option 4: charlie takes out his chainsaw, :twisted: kills the rest, gets all the body's to the other side (dousn't take that long) and brings them back to live with some magic spell or a medivac.
