next riddle is worth 30points:
Riddle:
Four monkeys of a circus band are walking to a night concert. They decide to take a shortcut, but must cross a bridge. Luckily they have one flashlight. Because of the varying size of their instruments, it takes each monkey a different amount of time to cross the bridge - it takes the first monkey one minute, the second monkey two minutes, the third five minutes and the fourth ten minutes. They must cross the bridge in pairs, travelling at the slower speed so if the one minute person went with the ten minute person, it would take a total of ten minutes. Since there is only one flashlight, one person must come back across the bridge, then another pair can cross. They only have 17 minutes to cross the bridge and still get to the concert on time. What order should they cross to get everyone across and get to the concert?

hi joyce!!! i miss u too! come back! lol
thanks for helping me out w/ directing. you are my guru. sunday went pretty well. wish you were there. =)
mayn! this riddle is a toughy! i'm never gonna win! =/ hahaha j/k.
omg!!!! i think i've finally solved something! :o) Here's what I think:
Monkey 2 & 1 go across first. 1 comes back and stays. 10 and 5 go next and stay. 2 comes back and takes 1 with him and that should equal 17.
i hope it's right...pretty please. :o) heehee
Um I might make a fool of myself by saying this and being wrong, but doesnt it not matter what order they go in as long as the #1 monkey escorts them all over.....they have to be in pairs and the others are 2, 5, and 10 mins equaling 17 mins. Yea I think thats right.....why am I doing this??? I have MOTP stuff!!
way to go kat. I was gonna solve this for the 30 points but that would be cheating. I've seen this more than once before and have already memorized the answer. I didn't tell kat, promise.
hey joe, what's up man? sorry to say man, but you're solution requires the 1-minute monkey to go back across the bridge twice if he were to escort each one. that would equal two 19 minutes total. How you doing by the way?
Hi Joyce! Can I get 1 point for commenting? Please!
