CD To Tape
Problem
Matilda wanted to transfer her favourite CD to tape.

The CD has six songs and the length of the tracks are 7:55, 9:40, 9:15, 12:45, 8:20 and 11:30; a total playing time of 59:25. After changing the order of the songs, Matilda was able to fit all the songs, without any breaks, on a sixty minute tape. How did she arrange the songs?
