A family of four (father, mother, son, and daughter) went on a hike. They walked all
day long and, when evening was already drawing on, came to an old bridge over a
deep gully. It was very dark and they had only one lantern with them. The bridge was
so narrow and shaky that it could hold no more than two persons at a time. Suppose it
takes the son 1 minute to cross the bridge, the daughter 3 minutes, the father 8
minutes, and the mother 10 minutes. Can the entire family cross the bridge in 20
minutes? If so, how? (When any two persons cross the bridge, their speed is equal to
that of the slower one. Also, the lantern must be used while crossing the bridge.)
