Riddle 10 points for first correct answer?!


Question: Riddle 10 points for first correct answer!?
There are 8 people standing on one side of a cliff - 3 Adults and 5 Children!. They all want to cross to the other side of the cliff using the connecting bridge!.

The problem is that the children are too scared to cross the bridge alone so they must be accompanied by an adult!. The Bridge itself can only carry the weight of 1 adult and 1 child at any one time!.


What is the minimum amount of "cross trips" required to completely transfer the 8 people!?

For those ppl saying 4 trips READ THE QUESTION

the children are too scared to cross the bridge alone so they must be accompanied by an adult!.

I have worked out how to do it in 5 trips but as YourVoice is looking for people who can enter their competition I'm not telling you how it is done!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

7 I think!.
One adlut bring a child and so on and then all that adults cross!. So!. 1&1, 1&1, 1&1,1&1,1&1, 1,1!.
ummmmm!. ow my head!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

after further review I'm thinking 12

one child and one adult = 2 x3 = 6
then the adult going back to get child =1
child and adult going back = 2
then adult going back for last child =1
child and adult going back = 2Www@Enter-QA@Com

it's 10

1&1 x 3 = 6 adult comes back after the 3rd for the next kid thats 7, they both cross, thats 8, another adult comes back thats 9, and then they both cross again, making it 10Www@Enter-QA@Com

7 > 3A take 3C first trip!. 2A go back (thats two plus the first 3=5)!. Then the 2A take last 2C (Add two more to 5) = 7Www@Enter-QA@Com

4 - each adult goes with one child, and 2 children go together without an adult!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I believe that the minimum amount of cross trips is 4!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
