Or alternatively, to make it a bit quicker, try almost the same method,
but get the second lemming to build the bridge before he turns around, just
before the blocker.   The builder will `bounce' off the blocker and build a
bridge like :
              \
               \
               /B

Which saves a few preciuos seconds, and possibly a lemming or two...
