The bridge and torch problem (also known as The Midnight Train [1] and Dangerous crossing [2]) is a logic puzzle that deals with four people, a bridge and a torch. It is in the category of river crossing puzzles , where a number of objects must move across a river, with some constraints.
Next, Euler observed that (except at the endpoints of the walk), whenever one enters a vertex by a bridge, one leaves the vertex by a bridge. In other words, during any walk in the graph, the number of times one enters a non-terminal vertex equals the number of times one leaves it.
Well-known river-crossing puzzles include: The fox, goose, and bag of beans puzzle, in which a farmer must transport a fox, goose and bag of beans from one side of a river to another using a boat which can only hold one item in addition to the farmer, subject to the constraints that the fox cannot be left alone with the goose, and the goose cannot be left alone with the beans.
The two solutions with the vertical axis denoting time, and brown, grey, green and beige paths denoting the wolf, goat, cabbage and boat, respectively The first step that must be taken is to let the goat go across the river, as any other actions will result in the goat or the cabbage being eaten.
This is a list of bridges and crossings over the Niagara River in order from Lake Erie downstream (generally northward) to Lake Ontario.Bridges and crossings marked * cross branches of the river within the United States, while those marked † cross within Canada.
The newest version of the Route 206 bridge was completed in 2007. This bridge sits on the site of the previous bridge, which existed from 1958 to 2007. The newest iteration is the 5th bridge built on that site. The original crossing was a two lane wooden covered bridge from the late 18th century that collapsed during a winter ice jam.
