Sammy the Slug likes to nibble on tasty green leaves. However he has a rare digestive disorder that only allows him to consume leaves from dandelion & tulip plants. Luckily for Sammy, on one side of the sidewalk that he lives by there are 5 dandelion plants & on the other side there are 7 tulip plants. Each dandelion plant has exactly 14 leaves and each tulip plant has 6 leaves. Once Sammy has arrived at a plant it only takes him 8 minutes to consume an entire leaf.
Now Sammy likes to vary his diet so he switches from dandelions to tulips after finishing off an entire plant. However, this means that he must make the treacherous 30 minute trip across the sidewalk in order to do so. Right now it's 3:20pm and there's only 4 & 1/4 hours left of sunlight. Sammy has a big appetite and doesn't stop eating until sunset. How many dandelion & tulip leaves will Sammy eat from now until darkness?
The winning answer gets a secret handshake and a big "hoorah!"
