    A & B go across = 10 mins.
    B go`s back with flashlight. = 5 mins.
    B & C go across = 5 mins.
    C go`s back with flashlight = 2 mins.
    C & D go across = 2 mins.

    10+5+5+2+2=24 :D

    Then again, if D cross`s with C it may knock it down to 23.....I think.

    do we have to explain the answer? if so, here it goes:

    C and D cross. 2 min
    D goes back. 1 min
    A and B cross. 10 min
    C goes back. 2 min
    C and D cross. 2 min

    2+1+10+2+2=17

    Noticed that if you put the first letter last it spells the same word backwards?

    That is if "evive" should have been "Revive".

    My observation is that if we remove the first letter from each word [ except 'evive', which should be 'Revive' because there is no word like 'evive'] then each word would have the same spelling either ascending or descending.

    SWIMS

    In back to front it will spell: SMIWS

    but in upside-down it will spell the same: SWIMS [when u make it upside-down, letter 'W' will become 'M' and 'M' will become 'W']

    got it?
