You must add up all the travel and wait times to determine when the cargo will arrive at the Air Transit Terminal. Try assigning driving, checkpoints and stops to different team members to solve before adding it all up.
Hint #2
Finding the total driving distance as well as the speed limit is necessary to an accurate arrival time.
Hint #3
George didn't mention which silo the missile was in, or when they will begin separation. You may need to search for that information elsewhere.
Hint #4
The originating silo, separation start time and driving distance were printed in a new article about the decommissioning of Big Red.
Hint #5
The route from Silo #01 to the Air Transit Terminal has 4 checkpoints that must be crossed, totaling 40 minutes.
Hint #6
Official procedure requires the following stops, and George has told you the following times each stop takes:
* Missile Separation - 40 minutes
* Regulatory Certification - 30 minutes
* Transfer - 15 minutes
* Processing - 20 minutes
Total time for stops = 105 minutes (1:45)
Hint #7
Warhead transport must drive at 20% of the posted speed limit. Since the speed limit around the base is 40mph, they will be driving at 8 miles per hour. With a total distance of 4 miiles, the total driving time is 30 minutes.
Total Driving Time: 00:30
Hint #8
Total travel time is as follows:
Driving: 00:30
Checkpoints: 00:40
Stops: 1:45
Total = 2:55
With missile separation scheduled for 7:00 PM, the cargo should arrive at the Air Transit Terminal at 09:55 PM.
Answer
The first guard inspection after 09:55 will occur at 10:00, which in military time is 2200.
