He has finally made it to the border of Germany, but to his dismay, there is a massive river blocking his way with only one bridge over.

There is only one gaurd on this bridge and he only checks the bridge for people every three minutes. Now, no matter how quickly any person may run, this bridge will always take exactly five minutes to cross. How can the German man exit Germany without being caught and killed?
