I'll answer any yes/no questions, as per usual. yes/no only, though.
the guard of an open prison was given strict orders not to allow any prisoner to leave the prison without release papers, or to allow any visitor into the prison without written permission from the governor. The guard watched over a bridge which was the only way into or out of the prison. He knew it would take between 9 and 10 minutes for anyone to get across the bridge, and so patrolled the area every five minutes.
Despite this, a prisoner made a successful escape. How?
Was the person giving the strict orders the prisoner who escaped?
Also, by open prison, do you mean "no fences"?
No - just a regular prisoner. Frickin' character limit.Quote:

It takes ten minutes to cross the bridge. The guard checks it every five.Quote:

No, it doesn't. The governor is just the guy who gives the orders; he's the one in charge, is all. Hence the reference to him.Quote:

Was a prisoner hiding under the bridge and then ran out when the guard was turned??
