After the Apocalypse

Puzzle 1: Getting Food

You are on a mission, deep within the maze of tunnels under the old Yum N' Go, to get desperately needed supplies for your tribe. Most of the tunnels have been irradiated, but you have a Gigger counter, which measures radiation in muns, to help you avoid the worst ones.

You have 3 things to get, and you figure it will take you about half an hour. A human being can withstand up to 600 muns of radiation in that time.

Your first task is to get the one remaining can of root beer on the planet. From where you are, there are 4 paths to the can:

  1. Tunnel A, which has a radiation level of 300 muns per minute, takes 1 minute to travel.
  2. Tunnel B, which has a radiation level of 200 muns per minute, takes 2 minutes to travel.
  3. Tunnel C, which has a radiation level of 100 muns per minute, takes 3 minutes to travel.
  4. Tunnel D, which has a radiation level of 50 muns per minute, takes 4 minutes to travel.
    ABCD
    Which tunnel will cause the least amount of radiation damage?
