Take your time. There’s no rush.

5 minutes.

Here's the answer from Mary's digital twin. The gray check mark turns green once Mary has confirmed it.

Each machine makes one widget in 5 minutes. So 100 machines working at once make 100 widgets in the same 5 minutes.

Why it’s fun

The numbers pull you toward 100 minutes. Slow down, work out what one machine does, and the answer falls into place.
