The Math of "The Martian" Sol 97 (2) Solution

Sol 97 (2) SOLUTION
Mark instructed NASA to time their transmissions so they arrived at the top of every hour, with their first transmission arriving at 11:00am. Which means the last transmission from NASA arrived at 5:00pm. Marks’s first note would have to be placed up at least 32 minutes before 11:00 am, so this entire conversation took at least 6 hours and 32 minutes.
