Help
my mystery is the answer.
i knows it!
a riddle.
uh
One foggy night, four young college students became stranded on Mystery Island in the middle of Quagmire Swamp. This wouldn't have been so bad, except that it was a Friday the 13th. In October. During a full moon. In a horror film.
The only way to the safety of dry land was across a rotting old bridge, which could only support two people at a time.
Crossing the bridge in the dark would certainly be fatal, given the state of the bridge, and the group only had one flashlight.
Alexis, the spunky marathon runner, can fly across the bridge in a minute.
Burt, the devil-may-care cycling champ, can sprint across the bridge in two minutes.
Christine, the nerdy gymnast, can jog across the bridge in five minutes.
Dave, the chain-smoking pinball wizard, can shuffle haplessly across the bridge in ten minutes.
If their flashlight has only seventeen minutes of power left, can all four cross in time?
Riddle me this riddle me that...

Yes. (I'd explain how, but someone posted this a bunch of pages ago, except with Lord of the Rings characters instead of Alexis, Burt, Christine, and Dave. Unless you were crafty and changed the times)

My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

They painted the radio tower yellow so it looked like a giant banana?
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
