## Prompt

Minimize total time to finish these tasks, one at a time, respecting dependencies: A (2h, no deps); B (3h, needs A); C (1h, no deps); D (2h, needs B and C). Give a valid order and the total time.

## Response

To minimize total time, start C first in parallel while A runs, then finish with B and D once prerequisites complete.

Valid order: **A → C → B → D**

Total time: 6 hours.
