Saw this elsewhere and thought the rest of you should give it a try (yes, I
know the answer - I've taken it before - but without the Disney characters).
You should be able to have it figured out in less than 5 minutes (according to
Microserf's HR dept.).

Good Luck solving the puzzle....

Mickey, Pluto, Donald and Goofy walk up to the drawbridge at Sleeping
Beauty's Castle and notice a proclamation:

It states:

Here is a flashlight to help you across the bridge into Fantasyland. Only
two people can cross the bridge at any time. One person will hold the
flashlight and help the other across. Someone will return to the other
side and assist the next person.

MICKEY: Can cross the bridge in 1 minute.

PLUTO: Can cross the bridge in 2 minutes.

DONALD: Can cross the bridge in 5 minutes.

GOOFY: Can cross the bridge in 10 minutes.

The proclamation also states that everyone must be across the bridge in 17
minutes enjoying Fantasyland or Disneyland will be closed forever! It is
your duty to find a solution.

Example:

Pluto and Donald cross the bridge = 5 minutes
Donald returns for the others = 5 minutes
Donald takes Goofy across = 10 minutes
Donald returns for the others = 5 minutes
Donald takes Mickey across = 5 minutes

This example solution takes 30 minutes so it is very wrong and all four
will be banished from Disneyland.

Furthermore, there are no silly solutions like Goofy rides piggy back on
Donald or that Mickey carries Pluto. The flashlight must be carried across
the drawbridge each way. All four must make it across the drawbridge into
Fantasyland.

Ouch I'm getting a headache just considering that one........I think the answer
would be:

After killing the Cat in the Hat...Teev would kill himself leaving Hulk and
Spidey to cross by themselves....

Nah, I like the Cat in the Hat and I would never kill myself. I may though tie
Spidey to that horrible Hulk coaster untill his head busts open.

Having, as all too usual, nothing much too post, it's time to refer to Petey's
bodily functions. How're they hangin', Petey?

And, oh yeah: Glad you finally found your way here, Dude!

Well, if the line is really themed well...
It wouldn't be too bad if nobody smoked in line- but then again that might be
why they are in line in the first place.

I guess that's no line we have to worry about tour groups crashing to get ahead
in.

It's good to be back.

This line is like Dumbo.
It's never really worth it, but I bet the ride lasts a lot longer.
