d'aww you guys.

Here's the last puzzle for the night.
I'll check for correct solutions when I wake up.

Even the simplest of household tasks can present complicated problems in operational research. Consider the preparation of three slices of hot buttered toast. The toaster is the old-fashioned type, with hinged doors on its two sides. It holds two pieces of bread at once but toasts each of them on one side only. To toast both sides it is necessary to open the doors and reverse the slices.

It takes three seconds to put a slice of bread into the toaster, three seconds to take it out, and three seconds to reverse a slice without removing it. both hands are required for each of these operations, which means that is is not possible to put in, take out, or turn two slices simultaneously. Nor is it possible to butter a slice while another slice is being put into the toaster, turned, or taken out. The toasting time for one side of a piece of bread is 30 seconds. It takes 12 seconds to butter a slice.

Each slice is buttered on one side only. No side may be buttered until it has been toasted. A slice toasted and buttered on one side may be returned to the toaster for toasting on its other side. The toaster is warmed up at the start. In how short a time can three slices of bread be toasted on both sides and buttered?

New to this board, this place is wonderful! Is /sci/ usually like this? I check in from time to time, but it seems relatively slow-moving. Much different from /lit/ and /mu/, it seems like there is much less trying to show off here.

Yes and no.
I think most people will tell you this is, overall, one of the better boards on 4chan.
But don't let that trick you into thinking it's not a cesspool of trolls and memes and off-topic repetitive discussion, like the other ones.

There's a couple errors that my script picked up.

I've done it a couple times before and I'll probably do it again.
I have a job now, so I've done it less often.
