Four people must travel from one side of a bridge to the other. There is one flashlight among them. Anyone who travels across the bridge must use a flashlight. A maximum of two people can travel across the bridge at any particular time. The time it takes for each of the four people to travel over the bridge is 3, 5, 10, and 16 minutes, respectively. Given these conditions, construct a well organized and convincing argument in determining how it can be arranged such that it will take exactly 34 minutes for all four people to travel from one side of the bridge to the other.

The Cheery Cherry Chair Company makes three types of chairs, the Montegue, the Capulet, and the Verona. Each chair requires assembly, finishing, and a certain amount of wood to make. The assembly area can be used for at most 10 hours per day. To keep him busy, the finishing person needs to work at least 6 hours per day. Producing a Montegue requires 1 hour of assembly, 2 hour of finishing, and 9 board feet of wood. Producing a Capulet requires 1 hour of assembly, 1 hour of finishing, and 9 board feet of wood. Finally, producing a Verona requires 2 hour of assembly, 1 hour of finishing, and 3 board feet of wood. If the company wants to minimize the amount of cherry wood used, how many should they make of each model? (It is possible to complete a fractional part a chair in a given day; in the long run you end up with completed chairs.) Number of Montegues = Number of Capulets = Number of Veronas = How many board feet of cherry wood would be used each day?
