===== The Bridge Crossing =====

One night, there were 4 people that came across a bridge they must cross. Because the bridge was very old an full of holes, it was impossible to cross in the dark. Luckily, there was a single flashlight which they must carry with them as the cross the bridge. The bridge also had a weight limit and would collapse if more than two of the people tried to cross at the same time. \\

Each person walked at a different speed and so when two traveled together, they would both walk the same speed as the slower of the two. Their speeds are as follows: \\
Person 1 will take 1 minute to cross the bridge.\\
Person 2 will take 2 minutes. \\
Person 3 will take 5 minutes. \\
Person 4 will take 10 minutes. \\

What is the shortest amount of time it will take to get all 4 people across the bridge? ((Junming Diao, May 7, 2013))
