U2 MATH PROBLEM
The situation
U2 has a concert on an island, which has only one bridge connecting it to the mainland. The bridge can hold only 2 people at a time. It is dark, so people crossing must carry a flashlight, but the group has only one. To cross, it takes lead singer Bono 1 minute, guitarist the Edge 2 minutes, bass player Adam Clayton five minutes and drummer Larry Mullen 10.

The problem
If 2 people cross at the same time, they travel at the slower person's rate. For example, Bono (the fastest) and Larry (the slowest) would take 10 minutes to cross. How can U2 make the concert on time, if it starts in 17 minutes.
