There are two insects on a tile. Insect X is sitting on one side of the tile (point A) and Insect Y is sitting opposite on the other side of the tile (point B). Now both of them decide to change their position and thus X starts crawling to point B and Y starts crawling to point A. When they meet and pass each other in between, X takes 20 seconds to reach B and Y takes just 5 seconds to reach A.

Can you calculate the total time each of the insects took to change their positions?

There are 3 men, two Chimps, and one Gorilla on one side of a river:

They have a boat but only the men and the Gorilla can row the boat across, so there must always be a human and/or Gorilla on the boat.
The boat can only carry two people/monkeys.
If monkeys and humans are together on one side of the river there must be as many or more people than monkeys for the men's safety.
How can all men and monkeys make it to the other side?
