So... According to my math it would take me 20:05 to get to the Sub Shop in the NE and 24:05 to get to the Sub Shop in the NW. Therefore, I would have to head to the Sub Shop on 2nd in the NE to try and get my raise. And no, my boss doesn't want a pickle -- he says he "doesn't swing that way".

Good job on an almost perfect answer: Your boss actually did want a pickle.
But otherwise, good job. I somehow managed an even longer route on the western sub shop (probably from a dose of bad math), so well done!

Awww... So close. Next time I'll "nail" the pickle part of the question. =0
