Nikita: I think I've got it.

Pavel: That was quick. Alright, which locations should I visit?

Nikita: You should visit location 6, then 8, then 4, then 3.

Pavel: Sounds good, I trust your math.

Nikita: I'll take the remaining locations.

Pavel: Let's start bright and early tomorrow morning.

 

*You stop and look at the map again*

 

*Your brother looks at you*

 

Pavel: What's up?

Nikita: There's a better way to do this.

Pavel: Hmm, yeah, maybe I should visit 5 locations.

Nikita: You should stop at location 1 before 6.

Pavel: Right, that would cut my travel time.

Nikita: I'll take the path 2-7-5.

 

*Pavel thinks for a moment*

 

Nikita: You could visit each location by about 9:45 AM if we started at 6:00 AM.

Pavel: You'll be done much earlier, but it's still more efficient than a 4/4 split.

Nikita: Yeah, in terms of travel time, I'd be looking at 1 hour 35 minutes of downtime.

Pavel: But now, let's think about the surveillance time required.
