Answer
Question 3
Allegedly, this is one of the questions for prospective Microsoft employees. A
group of 50, at Motorola, couldn't figure it out at all. See how long it takes
you....
U2 has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to
get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them
across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two
people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either one or two people,
must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and
forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each band member walks at a different speed. A
pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:
| Bono: | 1 minute to cross |
| Edge: | 2 minutes to cross |
| Adam: | 5 minutes to cross |
| Larry: | 10 minutes to cross |
For example, if Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when
they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the
flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission.
There is no trick behind this. It is the simple movement of resources in the
appropriate order.
Microsoft expects you to answer this question in under five minutes.
Good luck!
