One of the 4 steps never says how long it takes, so both numbers are floors. 2 min of that is counted as needing you only because the step never said otherwise. The recipe itself says 40 min.

Drawn to scale, so a long wait really does take up the room it takes. The shortest stretches keep a sliver so they stay visible; their times are printed beside them. The minutes are always the recipe’s own; a dashed edge means we worked out from the step whether you have to be there, and a dotted one means nothing was said, so we assumed you are standing over it.
