AssumeTalia is (and always has been) very highly motivated (engagement/productivity factor = 100%) and that she took 12 days on her first Task A attempt and 10 days on her second Task A attempt. How long will she take this time around (on her fifth attempt)?

As a result, over the past several months, she has had challenges focusing on and devoting her full energy to her work, and her engagement/productivity factor fell to about 70% (prior to her first Task A attempt) and has stayed at that level since then. Under this scenario, how long will she take this time around (on her fifth attempt)?
