During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How? (first person to answer correctly or the closet person to the answer gets 10pts)

She'd walk to halfway, then just as it was time for the guard to come out, she'd turn and start walking back. When the guard comes out, he'll see her walking his way as if she were trying to come into Germany, so he'd tell her to go back (or so he thinks) to Switzerland.

The woman waited for the guard to pass, and then walked on to the bridge a ways. She turned around and started to come back when the guard passed by again. The guard thought she was trying to get from Switzerland to Germany, and turned her back. She got to Switzerland safely.

When the sentry went to the tower she'd start to cross into Switzerland, and when he came out, she would start to walk back into Germany. When he saw her he told her to turn back into Switzerland.

Go half way, and then turn around and come back.
The guard will think she is from Switzerland, and turn har back.

She would wait until he had gone back inside, then walk to the middle, and then turn around and start back.. the guard would see her walking back, so he wouldn't shoot and then he would go inside, she would turn again and finish her trip.

She starts when he has just turned back, walks halfway and starts fishing., once he has had his second visit she walks the other half.

She swam? or she already lived in Switzerland
