## 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.

## Reasoning

- **Arrival time:** 1:35 PM
- **Customs:** 25 minutes
- **Walk to gate:** 15 minutes
- **Total time needed before reaching the gate:** 40 minutes

So you would reach the gate at:

- **1:35 PM + 40 minutes = 2:15 PM**

But boarding closes **20 minutes before departure**:

- **3:00 PM - 20 minutes = 2:40 PM**

Since you arrive at the gate by **2:15 PM**, you would still be there **25 minutes before boarding closes**, so you **do make the connection**.

## Conclusion

Yes, you **will** make the connection. You arrive at the gate by **2:15 PM**, and boarding closes at **2:40 PM**.

Would you like me to show this as a quick timeline?
