narrow bridge crossing
It takes Bob 1 minute to cross a dark bridge; Eleanor 2 minutes;
Anthony 5 minutes; Lori 10 minutes. What is the shortest amount of time
that all four people need to cross this narrow bridge ~ if only 1 or 2 can
cross at a time; sharing the same flashlight to see where they're walking?
When 2 cross together, they must walk at the speed of the slower person.

Congratulations to these solvers as of
