Question 132

You are given a $5 \times 6$ checkerboard with squares alternately shaded black and white. The bottom-left square is white. Each square has side length 1 unit. You can normally travel on this board at a speed of 2 units per second, but while you travel through the interior (not the boundary) of a black square, you are slowed down to 1 unit per second. What is the shortest time it takes to travel from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner of the board?
