lady D goes with lady C, then lady D returns. (3 min)
Lady B and A goes, C returns (3 + 12 = 15)
C and D goes (15 + 2 = 17 minute)

took me awhile

2, hire a boat,
3, the ladies all walk at different speeds.

since 2 people can get across the bridge at the same time, lady C and lady D can cross the bridge at the same time.............. i think thats right. :/

it would be clever to deliver lady a million for the duration of with one yet another lady: lady 2 taking 2 minutes, lady a million takes a million minute to return returned with torch, lady 3 takes 5 minutes, lady a million returned a million minute returned, then final trip over with lady 4 is 10 minutes, so: 2+a million+5+a million+10= 19 minutes for all females to go the bridge

because Lady A goes across with Lady B, goes back by herself, goes across with Lady C, goes back by herself, and finally goes across with Lady D.
