If the door opens a lantern lights up. If the door does not open in the next 15 mins then the lantern goes off. The following is a record of the times when someone opened the door - 8:00,8:03,8:05,8:07,8:11,8:20,8:33,8:54,9:15,10:52.

How much time did the lantern remain off?

8:00,8:03,8:05,8:07,8:11,8:20,8:33,8:54,9:15,10:52.

it will first go off at 8:48 and will remain so for next 6 mins
similarly it will remain off from 9:09 to 9:15 and then from 9:30 to 10:52

12 + 82 = 94 mins
