Notes

• In an optimal solution, exactly two people will be sent across the bridge with the flashlight each time (if possible), and exactly one person will be sent back with the flashlight each time. In other words, in an optimal solution, you will never send more than one person back from the far side at a time, and you will never send less than two people across to the far side each time (when possible).

Constraints

• times will have between 1 and 6 elements, inclusive.
• Each element of times will be between 1 and 100, inclusive.

Test cases

0.  

   • times{ 1, 2, 5, 10 }

    

   Returns17

    

   The example from the text.
1.  

   • times{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

    

   Returns16

    

   One solution is: 1 and 2 cross together (2min), 1 goes back (1min), 4 and 5 cross together (5min), 2 goes back (2min), 1 and 3 cross together (3min), 1 goes back (1min), 1 and 2 cross together (2min). This yields a total of 2 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 16 minutes spent.
2.  

   • times{ 100 }

    

   Returns100

    

   Only one person crosses the bridge once.
3.  

   • times{ 1, 2, 3, 50, 99, 100 }

    

   Returns162

   这个问题大家都很熟悉吧，晚上有５个人过河，只有一盏灯，，他们每个人的过河时间为１，２，３，６，１８（另一组人１，１０，１０，１０，１０）。每次最多两个人过河（过河必须有一个人带着灯），且过河的时间按走得慢的那个人算，求５个人过河所需的最少时间？

   当然这个问题转到程序里自然是变成了ｎ个人过河喽。

   如果你把上面得数据跑了一遍的话，得到２９（另一组４３）的话。那么心里大概就有最佳方案的笼统概念了：

   现在令ｎ个人走过的时间分别为a1,a2,a3,a4,a5，……an;（从小到大）

   那么一开始肯定先是１，２过河。

   接着考虑花时间最多的那两个人（必须考虑他们，这点很重要），我们怎么送他们呢？

   第一种方案：

   　　１回来了，让１把ｎ送过去，然后１回来，再让１把ｎ－１送过去：a1 + an + a1 + a(n-1) ;

   第二种方案：

   　　１回来了，让ｎ，ｎ－１过河，然后２回来，再１，２过河: a1 + an + a2 + a2 ;

   （如果觉得叙述方案时有奇怪的地方，请见怪不怪，总之是为了让每轮送两人，并且每轮结束时保证１，２都在对岸）

   所以这两种方案进行选择时，只要比较：a1 + a(n-1) 和　２× a2 中较小的即可。

   。。。大概就是这样，因为每次送两人，所以总人数为奇数时，还有点细节要考虑。
