Please proceed with caution - this riddle involves a rickety old bridge and serious brain wrinkling.

The premise behind the conundrum is simple:
  • You're being chased by zombies
  • There's four of you who need to cross a bridge before the zombies get to you
  • Each of you walks at a different maximum speed
  • Crossing the bridge in the dark requires huddling close to a latern
  • The bridge can only hold two people at a time
  • You need to get across and cut the bridge in 17 minutes
Watch the clip below and see if you can work it out - but remember to pause when you're asked to, because the solution is at the end.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yDmGnA8Hw0 Clip via TED-Ed
