They can lend planks to each other and have a maximum of three planks each. The beavers can cross the bridge if they work in pairs of two, using three planks per pair. This leaves three extra planks.

    BEBRAS CHALLENGE: BEAVERS AND THE BROKEN BRIDGE


    A group of 6 beavers want to cross a bridge, but the bridge needs 3 wood planks for being
    crossed. each beaver has 2 wood planks to place on the bridge. however, each wood plank
    can be used just twice otherwise it will break. also, the beavers can lend each other one
    wood plank; a beaver can have at the most just 3 wood planks. finally, there is a bucket to
    place the extra wood planks.
    TASK:
    Can all the beavers cross the bridge with the wood planks they have? if so, how many extra
    wood planks would there be?
    SOLUTION
    Yes, all the beavers can cross the bridge, and there are enough tables to do so, but the
    question now is how many extra wood planks are there? To begin, we must understand that
    the bridge requires three wood planks, and two beavers can cross the bridge with only three
    tables, because each table can be used twice. In other words, a couple of beavers requires
    only three tables, so with three couples, they will require only nine tables. Therefore, there
    would be 3 extra wood planks.

    RELATION WITH INFORMATICS


    This is a simple example of systems optimization, because even when we have a lot of
    extra resources to complete a task, we should try to use the fewest number of resources
    possible, so that we can make a simple process that is easy to read. It is also a good way to
    recognize how the data could be read in a different way, allowing us to come up with new
    and unique solutions.
