N people wish to cross a bridge at night. It’s so dark around there that they have to cross the bridge under the help of a little lamp. Only one little lamp is available (Oh, Men...) and they have to have the little lamp walking with them. The bridge is of a width such that a maximum of 2 people may cross at a time.
Each person walks at his/her fixed speed. If two people cross the bridge together, they must walk at the pace of the slower one. How fast can you get all N people over the bridge?
