Four prisoners have excaped...but due to injuries, they take different times to cross a bridge....1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes.
The guard is only not watching the bridge for 17 minutes, if they take longer than that, they get caught.
There is only one flashlight, and only two people can go across at one time. So, two go across, then one brings it back and two go across.
They must travel at the pace of the slowest person. How do they do it without getting caught?
