User blog:C H U N K Y/A riddle for ya

Ok, try and solve this ;)

During World War 2, Germany has blocked the only way in and out fom switzerland. This is a rakety bridge, over a river infested by sharks. The Germans have put a guard tower in place. The guard is a bit lazy, and only comes out to check the bridge every 5 minutes. If their is anyone on the bridge, he sends them the other way. The bridge takes 5 minutes to cross, so the guard has to come out at least once during the crossing. There is a lady with a pram wanting to cross the bridge into switzerland. How can she cross?


 * -|Hide Answer =

The women waits for the guard to come out, then return to the hut. She then starts to cross the bridge. After 5 minutes, she has reached halfway. She then turns round and heads back to Germany. The guard comes out after his five minutes of doing his own thing. He sees the women walking into Germany, and, assuming she is Swiss, sends her in the other direction into switzerland.
