Spice Girls

Spice girls
-----------

You are the manager of the four remaining Spice girls and you just
had a wonderful dinner with them. Suddenly you remark, that there
are only 17 minutes left before they should be on stage!
Unfortunately, between the restaurant and the stage there is
only a very light bridge, that can carry at maximum two of
the Spice Girls at once (we don't even talk about you as their
manager....). Of course not all the girls are equally fast.
Baby Spice needs 10 minutes to cross the bridge, Posh Spice is
only a little bit faster (because of her tight skirt and the
high heels), and it takes her 5 minutes. Scarry Spice is quite
fast, she needs only 2 minutes. We always knew that she is
wild :-). But she gets even beaten by Sporty Spice, who alone could
cross the bridge in one minute. Well, there is a reason why she is
called Sporty!

But there are more problems: It's dark outside, and the Spice
Girls are VERY afraid of being on the bridge in the dark.
Fortunately, you have a lighter that you can give them.
(But it's the only light source that you or the girls or anybody
else has)

So, your task is as follows: Explain the Spice Girls, how they
should cross the bridge. Remember, that there can be at maximum
two girls on the bridge at once. And they even have to stick
together and carry the lighter with them (otherwise, one of
them would be in the dark on the bridge). Of course the slower
Spice girl defines the speed of the couple. And no: They are too
weak to carry another girl...
Needless to say, that after two girls crossed the bridge with
the lighter, one of them has to return with the lighter, in order
that the next girls can cross the bridge.
And remember: The Spice girls have ONLY 17 (SEVENTEEN) MINUTES
time to cross the bridge!
