So I'm kinda confused about a math question my teacher gave me.
Lil and Bill agree to meet at a certain store between 3:30pm and 4:00pm. They could each show up at any time during that period. Lil will show up and wait 5 minutes before leaving. Bill will show up and wait 10 minutes before leaving. What is the probability of them meeting?
Can anyone explain how to solve this? Thanks

My solution is graphical and I hope it illustrates a way to view this problem other than via applying a formula.
