As we approach question 26, we notice similarities with question 25, with a slight difference in the prescribed minutes. The river-crossing game has taken us through various emotions, and here is the answer to question 26 of the IQ river-crossing game.
Question: Calculate the time for the boy to reach the riverbank right when the boatman arrives. Given two hourglasses (7 minutes and 11 minutes), and the boat will arrive in exactly 24 minutes.
Hint:
Let the 7-minute hourglass be A, and the 11-minute one be B.
Step 1: Sail with A=7, B=11; then A=0, B=4 (elapsed 7 minutes)
Step 2: Invert A to get A=7, B=4
Step 3: Sail with A=3, B=0; then A=0, B=11 (elapsed 4 minutes)
Step 4: Invert B to get A=3, B=11
Step 5: Sail with A=0, B=8; then A=0, B=3 (elapsed 3 minutes)
Step 6: Invert B to get A=0, B=3
Step 7: Sail with A=0, B=0; then A=7, B=0 (elapsed 3 minutes)
Step 8: Invert A to get A=7, B=0
Step 9: Sail with A=0, B=0.
Thus, we have met the requirements, and the total time taken is 24 minutes.
