AMC 8,2022 Problem 22: A bus takes 2 minutes to drive from one stop to the next, and waits 1 minute at each stop to let passengers board. Zia takes 5 minutes to walk from one bus stop to the next. As Zia reaches a bus stop, if the bus is at the previous stop or has already left the previous stop, then she will wait for the bus. Otherwise she will start walking toward the next stop. Suppose the bus and Zia start at the same time toward the library, with the bus 3 stops behind. After how many minutes will Zia board the bus? ![Diagram showing a bus stop on a timeline. The bus is 10 units away from the stop. Zia is 2 units away from the stop. The bus moves at 1 unit per minute, and Zia moves at 2 units per minute.](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/homework-question-parsing/marker/20251231T133952Z/09dfe1c77ac64f01a7287050ec6994c2/9ebd85380ef496499e5f23ec0d9cd744_img.jpg)
