My brother and I have thirty minutes to go to school, without being late. It usually takes us 15 minutes to arrive at the school gate if there's no traffic, but with traffic, it can take up to 25 minutes. The worst part is, traffic could be unpredictable and we don't know until we are on the way. After arriving at the school gate, if we walk straight to the school building, it would take 6 minutes. However, for this specific day, we also need to stop by the library to return books and visit the student council room. Walking from the school gate to the library would take approximately 3 minutes, and finding and returning the books an additional 2 minutes. But, if we have more than 3 books to return, which often is the case, it would take an extra 2 minutes. The student council room is another 5 minute walk from the library, and submitting our project would take approximately 3 minutes. Provided all these variables, if the worst-case scenario in traffic occurs and we have more than 3 books to return to the library, how much time do we have left from the moment we leave the student council room to reach our classroom, without being late?
