3. Escape
Long long ago in a kingdom far, far away, there was a king who didn’t allow anybody to leave his empire and didn’t let any foreigners in. There was only one bridge that connected his kingdom with the outside world. Royal orders stated that anyone moving outside should be killed. And anyone coming into his kingdom should be sent back.
To take a rest, the guard sits inside his hut for 5 minutes and returns back to the lookout. It takes 8 minutes to pass the bridge.
Only one woman managed to escape. HOW?
Answer
When the guard was inside the hut, the woman started her walk across the bridge. She walked for 5 minutes while he was inside, and then turned and moved back toward the kingdom. When approaching the kingdom she was asked for papers. And since she didn’t have any, she wasn’t allowed in.
