Hey guys. First time posting here. Let's see if you can solve this decent riddle I found on Reddit.
The only way to get to the other side of the canyon is to cross a bridge leading over a very big drop. The bridge is very thin and long, about the 24 meters across the canyon and 5-6~ ft. wide. In the middle of the bridge sits a lazy guard who is mostly asleep. If he sees you, he will carry you back to the other side instantly. The bridge is old and rickety and will make enough noise to wake him up if you get too close to him. After watching the guard for a while, you find that he wakes up exactly every 60 minutes, almost as if he's programmed to do it. He will stay awake for about a minute before he goes back to sleep. With only a pocket watch and the clothes on your back, how do you get to the other side of the canyon?
I hope this riddle is good enough for you guys. Best of luck.
