Bugs at Level 9

The quickest way should be couple compare w 1-sec person all the times. But the minimum time required is
12+1 +8+1 +6+1 +3 =32 seconds

(The info mentions the speeds of the people r 1,3,3,8,12 thou, but the given speeds r 1,3,6,8,12)

Another bug is: when I used hint at Level 9, the torch was at the another empty side so that I could never start but waste the only hint.
