    Four people come to a river in the night and have to cross a bridge. They each have a torch and, because it's night, the torch has to be used. Person A can cross the bridge in one minute, person B in two minutes, person C in five minutes, and person D in eight minutes. When two people cross the bridge together, they must move at the slower person's pace.

    Four people come to a river in the night.

    There is a narrow bridge, but it can only hold two people at a time. They have one torch and, because it's night, the torch has to be used when crossing the bridge. Person A can cross the bridge in one minute, B in two minutes, C in five minutes, and D in eight minutes. When two people cross the bridge together, they must move at the slower person's pace. Question :Can they all get across the bridge in 15 minutes or less?
