Daily Brain Teaser #36

Ethel heard that there was going to be a sale on santa sweaters at Walmart. She decided to buy santa sweaters for everyone on her Christmas list.

Ethel decided to get to Walmart a few hours before it opened just to make sure she could get enough santa sweaters. It took her 23 minutes to drive to the store. It took her 8 minutes to find parking because many other shoppers had gotten there even earlier than she had. Ethel waited in line for 3 hours and 26 minutes. It took her 12 minutes to get a cart and find the santa sweaters. She spent an hour and 4 minutes getting all the right sizes. It took her 7 minutes to get to the check out line, and then she had to wait in that line for 38 minutes. Paying for the sweaters took 6 minutes and walking back to her car with her bags of santa sweaters took another 6 minutes. There was traffic on the way home so it took another 38 minutes for her to get back to her house.

How long did it take Ethel to get the Santa Sweaters?


______ hours and _______ minutes
