Lee Beedo, a hip bachelor in Edmond, has a date for Saturday night and finds himself without a thing to wear. Faced with the daunting task of doing enough laundry to fully accessorize during his night out, Lee has sorted his clothes into loads according to fabric and colour. Based on his vast experience doing laundry, Lee knows how long each load will take in both the washer and the dryer. He glances at his watch; it is now 2:00 p.m. and he has to have the last load dry by 8:30 p.m. to be there in time. Help Lee develop a schedule that will enable him to make his date on time and depict that schedule using a Gantt chart. Can he make it and, if so, by how much?
