¡i©ú³ø±M°T¡jThe South Island Line (SIL) of the MTR opened on 28 December 2016. It has five stations: Admiralty (ª÷ÄÁ), Ocean Park (®ü¬v¤½¶é), Wong Chuk Hang (¶À¦Ë§|), Lei Tung (§QªF) and South Horizons (®ü©É¥b®q). Its operation has made Southern District, especially Ap Lei Chau (Àn•c¬w), much more accessible. Similar to the Disneyland Resort Line, the SIL is automatically operated. It was estimated that over 170,000 passengers would use the newly launched train service every day.

The Smarties are planning to spend a fun day in Ocean Park after they have defeated Eason in Fanling (¯»À­). If they take the MTR, how many times must they change trains before they can arrive at Ocean Park?

¡½Game ¢±

Bill got lost from the other Smarties at Admiralty. They agreed to meet at Ocean Park. Bill boarded a train 6 minutes after the others had done so. His journey was delayed another 5 minutes because of a signal fault. If Bill arrived at Ocean Park at 10:30 am and the train ride normally takes 4 minutes, when did the other Smarties arrive at Ocean Park?
