## 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**. You need **40 minutes total** before boarding closes, but you only have **25 minutes** from landing to finish customs, so you miss the cutoff by **15 minutes**.

## Reasoning
- Arrival: **1:35 PM**
- Customs: **25 minutes** → finished at **2:00 PM**
- Walk to gate: **15 minutes** → arrive at gate at **2:15 PM**
- Flight departs at **3:00 PM**
- Boarding closes **20 minutes before departure** → closes at **2:40 PM**

Since you reach the gate at **2:15 PM**, you arrive **25 minutes before boarding closes**, so **in this simplified scenario you do make it**.

## Check the timing carefully
- Customs ends: **2:00 PM**
- Gate arrival: **2:15 PM**
- Boarding closes: **2:40 PM**

That leaves **25 minutes of buffer**.

If you want, I can also show this as a quick timeline diagram.
