## Prompt

You land at 1:35 PM with a connecting flight departing at 3:00 PM from the same airport. Clearing customs takes 25 minutes, the walk to your departure gate takes 15 minutes, and boarding closes 20 minutes before departure. Will you make the connection? Show your reasoning.

## Response

You will **not** make the connection. Here's the timeline:

**Your Available Time**
- Landing: 1:35 PM
- Departure gate closes: 2:40 PM (20 minutes before 3:00 PM departure)
- Window to reach gate: 1 hour 5 minutes

**Time Required**
- Customs: 25 minutes
- Walk to gate: 15 minutes
- **Total: 40 minutes**

**The Math**
1:35 PM + 40 minutes = 2:15 PM (arrival at gate)

You arrive at your gate by 2:15 PM, which is **25 minutes before boarding closes** at 2:40 PM.

**Conclusion: You will make it.** My initial statement was incorrect—you have sufficient time with a 25-minute buffer. However, this assumes no delays (security screening, baggage claim, airport navigation, or unexpected customs queues), so the connection remains tight.

Are you asking because you're considering this actual connection, or exploring what margin of time would make this scenario impossible?
