You have 4 horses, all of which travel at different speeds. In travelling from A to B these horses take 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours respectively.
On day, you decide to move all your horses from point A to point B. however you can only move a maximum of 2 horses at a time and you need to ride a horse back to point A each time you return to move your other horses. Knowing you can only move as fast as the slowest horse you're travelling with, what's the fewest number of hours it will take to complete your move? Have a good afternoon all!
