June 11th puzzle:

Sarah lives with her teenage son, John, in the countryside—a car ride away from John's school. Every afternoon, Sarah leaves the house at the same time, drives to the school at a constant speed, picks John up exactly when his chess club ends at 5 p.m., and then they immediately return home together at the same constant speed. But one day, John isn’t feeling well, so he leaves chess practice early and starts to head home on his portable scooter.

After John has been scooting for an hour, Sarah comes across him in her car (on her usual route to pick him up), and they return together, arriving home 40 minutes earlier than they usually do. How much chess practice did John miss?

June 8th Puzzle:

Suppose there are four people trying to cross a rather dodgy rope bridge in the middle of the night.

Only two of them can cross it any one time and they only have a single flashlight between them. For this reason, one person of each pair must return to help the others get across.

But time is limited; they are being chased and need to get across within 17 minutes total and each person can only cross the bridge at a certain rate.

Person one takes 1 minute to cross the bridge
Person two takes 2 minutes to cross the bridge
Person three takes 5 minutes to cross the bridge
Person four takes 10 minutes to cross the bridge

Each pair can only cross as fast as the slowest member of the pair. How can they all cross the bridge in time?
