Q. Tigers Patrol of four wants to get through a tunnel. The PL can make it in 1 minute,
the APL in 2 minutes, the Scout in 4 and the new Scout in 5 minutes. Unfortunately,
not more than two persons can go through the narrow tunnel at one time, moving at
the speed of the slower one. Can they all make it to the other side if they have a torch
that lasts only 12 minutes and they are afraid of the dark? How?
A. First the PL and APL go through and the PL returns with the torch. Then the Scout
and new Scout go through and the APL returns and last the PL and APL.

Q. You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass
by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus. An old lady who looks as
if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you
have been dreaming about. Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your
car, whom would you choose?
A. You would give your car keys to your old friend, and let him take the lady to the
hospital. Then you would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of your
dreams.
