Wait, I've got a better joke for this one. What do you call a switch with a broken port? A Switch-and-a-half! Anyway, I think the answer is B. 37 hours seems about right to me.

Ha! This question is a real brain-teaser. Let me think this through... Okay, I've got it. The total downtime is 15 hours, which means the uptime is 105 hours. That's a MTBF of 30 hours, so the answer is C.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The downtime is actually 15 hours, not 14 hours, since the failures overlap on Friday. So the uptime is 105 hours, which means the MTBF is 30 hours. I think the answer is C.

I think the answer is B. 37 hours. The downtime of Port 6 is 7 hours on Tuesday, 5 hours on Thursday, and 2 hours on Friday, which adds up to 14 hours. Subtracting that from the total 120 hours (24 hours x 5 days) gives us 106 hours of uptime, which means the MTBF is 37 hours.

This is a classic case of 'when in doubt, choose the longest option.' So I'm going with D) 40 hours. Who needs to actually do the math when you can just guess, am I right?

Okay, I got this. The total downtime is 9 hours, and the total time period is 5 days (Monday-Friday). So the MTBF must be 40 hours. Wait, is that right? I need more coffee.

Hmm, let me think this through. Okay, so the total downtime for Port 6 is 9 hours, and the uptime is the rest of the time. That means the MTBF must be 37 hours, right? Easy peasy.

I disagree, I believe it's 37 hours because it failed for a total of 10 hours during the week.

Wait, so the switch has to be up for 24 hours every weekday, but Port 6 keeps failing? That's like having a car that only works on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
