Santa's Dilemma: How to Cross the Bridge?

How can Santa safely cross the bridge with Rudolph, an elf, and a snowman?

Given the restrictions, what will be the best strategy for Santa to help everyone cross without any harm?

Answer:

To solve this puzzle, Santa can use a logical approach to cross the bridge with Rudolph, an elf, and a snowman safely. Here's how he can do it:

Firstly, Santa will take Rudolph across the bridge to the other side. Santa will then return to the initial side without Rudolph.

Next, Santa will take the elf across the bridge to the other side where Rudolph is located. This leaves the snowman alone on the original side.

Now, Santa faces a challenge of leaving the elf and Rudolph together, as the elf is afraid Rudolph will bite him, to cross back with the snowman. To solve this, Santa will cross back to the original side with Rudolph, leaving the elf alone with the snowman.

Upon reaching the original side, Santa will leave Rudolph and take the snowman across the bridge to where the elf is. The snowman and elf can stay together safely.

Finally, Santa will cross alone back to the original side to bring Rudolph over to the other side. This way, all four characters are safely across the bridge.
