The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide
everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 minutes. Is that it? No. That
would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

Let's brainstorm a little further. To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to
go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That
would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to
bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to
use 2 to usher 1 across. So let's put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross
2 comes back
7 and 10 go across
1 comes back
1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 minutes
