😇 Heaven or Hell Puzzle
You have two doors in front of you. One door leads to heaven, and the other to hell.
There are two guards, one by each door. One guard always tells the truth, and the other always lies, but you don’t know who is who (but the guards know each other).
You can only ask one question to one guard to find the door to heaven.

What question would you ask?

🌉 Crossing the Bridge Puzzle
The puzzle from ISSUE-406 ↗️
Let's think through this step-by-step to find the minimum time required for all 4 people to cross the bridge.

1) First, let's consider that the flashlight needs to return to the starting side for the next pair to cross. This means someone has to come back with it.

2) The key insight is that we want the slowest people to cross together, and we want the fastest person to bring the flashlight back.

3) Let's try this approach:

Step 1: 1 min and 2 min cross (2 minutes)
Step 2: 1 min returns (1 minute)
Step 3: 5 min and 10 min cross (10 minutes)
Step 4: 2 min returns (2 minutes)
Step 5: 1 min and 2 min cross (2 minutes)

4) Let's add up the time:
2 + 1 + 10 + 2 + 2 = 17 minutes

Therefore, the minimum time required for all 4 people to cross the bridge is 17 minutes.
