Instead of taking the ferry to Froopaloop Island, Heather prefers to do something very risky: she dons her gorgeous white bikini and swims to the island. (The inhabitants of the island don't know what she looks like with clothes on.)
One day, Heather left the mainland terminal at exactly the same time the ferry left the island terminal. Exactly 50 minutes later, the ferry passed her.
Assuming both Heather and the ferry travel at a constant speed, and ignoring the time the ferry spends at the mainland terminal, how much time passed between the ferry passing Heather in the opposite direction and passing her in the same direction?
Hint: Fifty minutes after leaving the island terminal, the ferry will go in the opposite direction of Heather.
