Can You Solve This Famous Math Riddle? (for Ages 10+)

Most People Can’t Figure Out This Simple Math Riddle. Can You?

The Bridge of Destiny Math Riddle is a twist on the famous bridge and torch problem. This math riddle is seemingly simple and a fan favorite for ages 10 and up, yet many people can’t seem to get the correct answer.

If you love math riddles, brain challenges, and epic quests, then give this one a try and see if you have what it takes to find the answer!

Bridge of Destiny Math Riddle:

  • Four travelers on a quest must cross a fragile bridge to continue their journey.

  •  No individuals can cross the bridge without the Destiny Gem close by, which, fortunately, they have in their possession.

  •  If at any time, more than two individuals walk on the bridge, it will collapse.

  •  Each traveler moves at a different pace, and it will take each traveler the following amount of time to cross the bridge:

  • Sorceress: 1 minute, Archer: 2 minutes, Warrior: 5 minutes, Wizard: 8 minutes

  • When two travelers cross the bridge together, they must move at the slower person's pace.


    What is the shortest time needed for all four travelers to safely cross the bridge?

Remember…

  •  No more than two individuals can cross the bridge at the same time (otherwise, it will collapse)

  •  Individuals must stay together when crossing the bridge and be in possession of the Destiny Gem

  •  All four travelers must get safely across

  •  No tricks spells, or throwing the Destiny Gem allowed!

Bridge Riddle Answer

Click to enlarge.

Many people conclude that the shortest amount of time for all four travelers to cross the bridge is 17 minutes, but this is incorrect!

***The actual answer is 15 minutes.

To find the correct answer to the riddle, you must realize that having the two slowest individuals cross the bridge individually wastes valuable time which can be saved if they both cross together.

Detailed Explanation:

Check out our animated Destiny Bridge Riddle Video for a detailed explanation of why the answer is 15 minutes AND for a super fun bonus riddle!

The River and The Torch

  •  Further along their journey, the four travelers must cross a river at night.

  •  Crossing the river after dark is only possible with a torch, so the travelers have traded the Destiny Gem for a Torch that will provide light for 17 minutes after it is lit.

  •  Only two travelers can cross the river at one time, and they must have the torch in their possession in order to see where they are going.

  •  Each traveler takes the following amount of time to cross the river

  •  Wizard: 10 Minutes, Sorceress: 5 Minutes, Archer: 2 Minutes, Warrior: 1 Minute

 How can all four travelers cross the river before the torch burns out?

Solving Systems of Equations Explained!

Solving Systems of Equations Explained!

This free step-by-step guide will teach you everything you need to know about solving systems of equations in math.

Banner.jpg

Solving Systems of Equations: Everything You Need to Know

Solving systems of equations can seem intimidating, especially when you see more than one equation shown on a graph. However, if you know how to graph a function on the coordinate plane or on a graphing calculator, then you can become a master of solving systems of equations.

This guide also includes a very handy system of equations solver that you can use to check your work and graph linear systems on your computer.

But first…

If you need some refreshers on the foundational skills required to understand how to solve systems of equations, you may find these free algebra resources to be helpful:

You’ll also notice that the graphics in this lesson rely on using different colors to differentiate between different functions (this strategy is very helpful for keeping your thoughts organized and preventing confusion). If you are following along using graph paper, then it is highly recommended that you use colored highlighters or markers. However, this is only a suggestion, and you can still learn to solve systems of equations using a pen or pencil.

 Are you ready to get started?

System of Equations Definition

A system of equations is when there are two or more equations that share the same variables.

 For example, here is a system of equations for two linear functions:

y = x + 1 & y=-2x + 1

 Notice that both of these equations are shown on the graph in Figure 1. 

(Again, if you need a refresher on how to graph lines in y=mx+b form, watch this quick video tutorial)

Figure 1 (graph courtesy of desmos.com/calculator)

Figure 1 (graph courtesy of desmos.com/calculator)

 

The solution to a system of equations is the point (or points) where the lines intersect.

 So, in this example, the solution to the system of equations is the point (0,1), since this is where the two lines intersect. 

Figure 2: What do lightsaber fights and linear systems have in common? (Image: Mashup Math MJ)

Types of Solutions to Systems of Equations

Does every system of equations have a solution?

There are actually three kinds of solutions to a system of equations:

  • One Solution (as seen in Figure 1)

  • No Solution

  • Infinitely Many Solutions

 
Figure 3

Figure 3

 

Key Takeaways:

One Solution: The systems intersect at only one point.

No Solution: The lines are parallel and do (and never will) intersect

Infinitely Many Solutions: Two or more identical and overlapping graphs that intersect everywhere!

Confused? That’s ok. Just keep the three solution types in mind as we work through an example of each type of solution that will help you to better understand how to solve systems of linear equations.

Systems of Linear Equations Examples

Example 01: One Solution

Find the solution to the following system of equations:

Figure 4. Notice that the answer to this example is a decimal, which is totally fine.
 

The first step to finding the solution to this system of equations is to graph both lines as follows:

Snip20210114_13.png
 

Notice that the ONLY intersection point for this system of equations is at (2,5).

Snip20210114_14.png
 

Remember that (2,5) is an (x,y) coordinate where x=2 and y=5. To confirm that you answer is correct, you can substitute x=2 and y=5 into both equations to see if your answer checks out as follows.

Snip20210114_16.png
 

Note that, since this system of equations has only one solution, (2,5) is the only point that will work. You can try substituting x and y values for any other coordinate and you will never find another one that works out.

Final Answer: The solution is (2,5)


Example 02: No Solution

Find the solution to the following system of equations:

Snip20210114_20.png
 

Just like the last example, graph both equations on the coordinate plane as follows:

Snip20210114_21.png
 

Notice that both equations have the same slope (+5/4). Since parallel lines have the same slope, it makes sense that the lines are the graph are parallel to each other. And, since parallel lines never intersect, these two lines will never intersect, and therefore there is no solution to this system of equations.

Final Answer: No Solution (because the lines are parallel)


Example 03: Infinitely Many Solutions

Find the solution to the following system of equations:

Snip20210114_26.png
 

Notice that the second equation is not in y=mx+b form, so you will have to rearrange it to isolate the y before you can graph:

Isolate the y by subtracting 3 from both sides.

Isolate the y by subtracting 3 from both sides.

What do you notice?

What do you notice?

Now we have two equations in our system: y=-4x-3 and… y=-4x-3. After rearranging the second equation, we can see that both equations are identical.

What does this mean for the graph and the solution to our linear system? Let’s find out by graphing the first equation (Figure 5) and then the second equation (Figure 6)

Figure 5

Figure 5

Figure 6

Figure 6

Since the equations are identical, the lines are graphed right on top of each other and they intersect everywhere at every point that both lines pass through.

Therefore, every point on the line is a solution—and since lines have an infinite number of points, this system has an infinite number of solutions.

Final Answer: Infinitely Many Solutions


Systems of Equations Solver

When you initially learn how to solve systems of equations, we recommend using graph paper and a straight-edge to graph your equations and find your solution (and use substitution to check your work as we did in example 01).

However, after you become more comfortable working with systems of equations, you may benefit from using systems of equations solver tool like a graphing calculator to graph lines and find intersection points rapidly.

If you don’t have a graphing calculator, there is an awesome FREE system of equations solver calculator available via www.desmos.com/calculator.

*Note that you have to input the equations in y= form in order for the Desmos systems of equations solver to work.

For example, you can use the Desmos Systems of Equations Solver to find the solution to the system:

y=(3/5)x-8 & y=(-8/5)x+3

1.) Type each equation into the left-hand column

2.) Locate the intersection point (you may need to zoom out)

3.) Click on the intersection point to find the coordinates.

The solution is (5,-5)

cm to m: 2 Easy Steps

Banner.jpg

Converting CM to M: Everything You Need to Know

Are you looking to learn how to convert centimeters to meters (cm to m)?

Before you learn the absolute easiest way to convert cm into m (with and without a calculator), let’s do a quick review of some very important vocabulary terms (trust me, this will come in handy very soon):

  • Centimeter (cm) is a metric unit of length that equals one-hundredth of a meter.

  •  Meter (m) is the fundamental unit of length in the metric system. Note that a meter is approximately 39.37 inches or 3 feet and 3 inches in the imperial system)

  • Note that the abbreviations for centimeters (cm) and meters (m) are meant to be expressed as lower-case letters.

The key takeaway from these definitions is that a meter is the standard unit of length in the metric system and that a centimeter is equal to one-hundredth of one meter (which means that there are one hundred centimeters in one meter). Centimeters are very small compared to meters, and:

  • One hundred centimeters make up one meter.

  • One meter is made up of one hundred centimeters.

Are you starting to see a relationship between centimeters and meters?

 

Figure 1: Centimeters Compared to Inches (image via Mashup Math FP)

 
  • Remember that meters and centimeters are metric system units of measurement (not imperial).

  • For reference, some things that measure approximately 1 meter are the width of a large refrigerator, the depth of the shallow end of a swimming pool, and the height of a typical kitchen countertop.

 

Figure 2: cm to m Relationship (image via Mashup Math FP)

 

If you can understand the relationship between cm and m (and m and cm) displayed in Figure 2, then you will be able to convert cm into m using the easy two-step method shown below!

Converting cm to m Examples

You can convert centimeters to meters by following these two easy steps.

(Note: First, you will learn how to convert cm into m by hand and then later on using a calculator).

cm to m Example 01: Convert 500 cm to meters

Let’s start with a relatively simple example, where you have to convert 500 centimeters into meters.

Step One: Divide the Number of Centimeters by 100, as follows:

500 ÷ 100 = 5

Step Two: Change the Units to Meters

500 cm = 5 m

That’s it! (see Figure 3 for a more detailed explanation)

Final Answer: 500 centimeters equals 5 meters

Figure 3

Figure 3

 

By following the two simple steps above, you can always convert cm to m even if you don’t have a calculator. Now, let’s take a look at another example.

Here is another example of how to convert cm to m:

cm to m Example 02: Convert 886 centimeters into meters

In this example, you can convert cm to m using the same two-step method used in the previous example:

Step One: Divide the Number of Centimeters by 100, as follows:

886 ÷ 100 = 8.86

Step Two: Change the Units to Meters

886 cm = 8.86 m

Final Answer: 886 centimeters equals 8.86 meters

Figure 4. Notice that the answer to this example is a decimal, which is totally fine.

Figure 4. Notice that the answer to this example is a decimal, which is totally fine.

 

What if you flip cm to m?

Before you move onto learning about the cm to m calculator and trying some free practice problems, let’s take a super quick look at the relationship between the reverse of cm to m: converting meters into centimeters.

As you may have predicted, the conversions between cm and m are reversible. When going form cm to m, you divide by 100. When going in reverse, from m to cm, you multiply by 100.

Fun Fact: If you start with meters and convert to centimeters and then convert back to meters, or vice versa, you will end up with the same number that you started with (some students like to perform these calculations to check that their work is correct).

Example 03: Convert 8.86 meters into centimeters

Notice that this example is the reverse of Example 02 and you have to convert to m into cm. If the fun fact is true, then the final answer has to be 886 centimeters. Let’s see if it works out:

Step One: Multiply the Number of Meters by 100, as follows:

8.86 x 100 = 886

Step Two: Change the Units to centimeters

886 cm = 8.86 m

Final Answer: 8.86 meters equals 886 centimeters

Pretty cool, right?

If you need a fast and easy way to convert between different units of measurement, including centimeters to meters (cm to m), then you can take advantage of the many free online centimeters to meters conversion calculators that are available.

This free distance conversion calculator from www.calculatorsoup.com will quickly make conversions from cm into m and vice versa, but it will not show you any of the work or the previously mentioned two-step process. While this cm to m calculator is a handy tool, it will not help you understand the process behind making distance conversions or the relationship between centimeters and meters.

To use the cm to m calculator, simply input the number of centimeters in the Value to Convert box and choose to convert from centimeters to meters. If you do not input the numbers correctly, you will not get a correct cm to m conversion.


Converting cm to m Practice Problems

Looking for some extra practice converting cm into m (and m into cm)?

The following centimeters to meters practice problems will give you plenty of opportunities to apply the two-step process to converting cm to m or to use a cm to m calculator to make conversions. There is also an answer key at the bottom of this post.
