How did YouTube users react to the puzzle involving zombies?
“I would probably spend the whole 17 minutes thinking how to cross the bridge,” posted a YouTube user. “It doesn't take too long to figure that the two slowest HAVE to cross together. Otherwise, you've used 15 minutes on them plus 2 additional minutes to bring back the lantern each time. From there, it becomes fairly obvious. It also doesn't matter who stays on the far side after the first trip. The maths works out either way,” shared another. “My teacher showed this riddle to my class and half the kids were saying ‘SACRIFICE THE PROFESSOR’!” joked a third. “Very good video, very informative, good work, very proud of you,” wrote a fourth.
