  1. Wait for the guard to sleep
  2. Walk for 35 minutes (Will almost reach the other side)
  3. Now as the guard wakes up turn around and start coming back the way you came.
  4. The guard will object and make you turn around which is now also where you wanted to be in the first place.

How can all four men cross the bridge in 17 minutes?

Four men want to cross a bridge. They all begin on the same side. It is night and they have only one flashlight with them. At most two men can cross the bridge at a time and any party who crosses, either one or two people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth: it cannot be thrown, etc. Each man walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the speed of the slower man. Man 1 needs 1 minute to cross the bridge, man 2 needs 2 minutes, man 3 needs 5 minutes, and man 4 needs 10 minutes. For example, if man 1 and man 3 walk across together, they need 5 minutes.
