Wait, are we assuming that the younger one is the father of the older one?

Edit: Damn. Late.

Logic. It's a known fact that speaking of logic instantly degenerates the current conversation into pitiful whines and groans. That's how New Mombasa fell.

Two men and two women stand on a riverbank. They would like to get on the other side with a boat. Unfortunately, the boat can only carry as much as two people.

The 4 people can not cross the river at the same speed. One woman is able to cross it in 5 minutes and the other in 10. One man can cross it in 20 and the other in 25 minutes. (This means that if a man is in the boat, the minimum cross time - one way - will be 20 minutes.)

How can they cross the river in one hour ?

The women who crosses it in 5 mins can go with the man it takes 25 mins. 5+25=30mins

The woman who crosses it in 10 mins can go with the man who takes 20 mins. 10+20=30mins

30+30= 60mins = 1 hour.

That is of course if you don't consder how the heck the boat would get back to the other side of the river for the other 2.

If you account for the boat going back across the river (an extra 5 min. twice) then the minimum time would be 1 hr. 20 min.

I'm stumped.

Yes, you have to account for the boat getting across the river to pick up those who haven't crossed yet. The answer makes sense once you figure it out. =)

Take care,

That won't work. The boat moves at the pace of the slowest person in it.
If the woman who goes across in 5 minutes travels with the guy who takes 25 minutes, their one way trip across will take 25 minutes, and then one of them will have to get back to begin ferrying the others over.

Keep trying! No correct (or even close) answers yet. =)

/sigh
A few just don't seem to get this. It is a RIDDLE.
That means you take the puzzle as-is and figure out a solution while remaining true to the rules outlined.
Two men and two women stand on a riverbank. They would like to get on the other side with a boat. Unfortunately, the boat can only carry as much as two people.The 4 people can not cross the river at the same speed. One woman is able to cross it in 5 minutes and the other in 10. The men can cross it in 20 and 25 minutes. (This means that if a man is in the boat, the minimum cross time - one way - will be 20 minutes.)

How can they cross the river in one hour?

Keep trying folks. If nobody gets it right by 10 AM tomorrow (Friday, 12/3/04), I'll post the answer. =D

Take care,
Cavmn

PS: I honestly thought this was an easy one, sorry.
