8:09 Yes, very nice. I managed to overthink myself out of my original (correct) intuition, and then sat staring at a puzzle 80% solved while considering myriad path possibilities all of which were trivially impossible. Ah, well. It’s good to get tripped up—even if because the puzzle was “easier” than I expected.
