You only have 17 minutes to get everyone across and cut the ropes. Unfortunately, the bridge can only hold 2 people at a time, and to make it worse, it's very dark there that you can barely see. And the lantern you have only lights up a tiny area. Can you figure out a way to escape everyone on time?

Remember, Only 2 people can come across the bridge at a time and stick together because the lantern you use only illuminates a tiny area. Any of you can safely wait on either side of the bridge in the dark. Everyone must be safely across before the zombies arrive. Otherwise, the zombie can step on the bridge while you are still on it.

Answer To Can you solve the bridge riddle

If you are still trying to get the answer to this, we have a hint for you, there are a few different solutions, and all you need to know is the basic logic to get the equations right. Let us now see the solutions and its explanation.

To cross safely. You have to team up first. Make the two slowest people cross together. And because you have to make a couple of return trips, you and the lab assistant, the fastest people, cross together. So firstly, you and the lab assistant must run across the bridge. You can cross the bridge in 2 minutes because the lab assistant needs 2 minutes to cross, and you must slow down to match her pace. 

After you cross, as the fastest runner, you have to run back to where the Janitor and the professor are standing. You only need a minute to cross so that it will be a total of 3 minutes. Give the lantern to the Janitor and make them cross the bridge. You have to wait at the starting point. They will take precisely 10 minutes to get there. When they got across, 13 minutes had passed, and now there were only 4 minutes left.

You dont have to panic. Because the lab assistant is on the other end, and she is the second fastest among others. She can come to you in 2 minutes to get across the bridge. You have to slow down a bit to match her pace, and you will reach the Janitor and the Professor in 2 minutes. By this time, the Zombies will reach the other side of the bridge; you can cut the rope before the zombies get you.
