Bridge Puzzle
(MSIE 4.0 or Netscape 3.0+)
It is a very dark night and you have 4 people which must get across a bridge.
You only have 1 flashlight and only 2 people may cross at a time.
The four people take 4 different times to cross (1 minute, 2
minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes) and the total time of a crossing
is that of the slowest person. The trick is that you must get them
all accross in 17 minutes. In this puzzle you are instead trying
to get wolves across (the images were conveniently available).
- Click on a wolf on the bank to move it on to the bridge
- Click on the Cross button to go across the bridge
Solve it to be added to the

Note: although the puzzle is not, this page and javascript
code are based on the Wolves vs Sheep puzzle by Jerry Fitzgerald. The images used come directly from
there.
