08:24 It is in dollars also. It's in dollars for the Americans. It's in dollars, yes. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So for Europe it will be like a hundred euro or you can take that as a guidance, that number.

08:40 But those numbers are for the guidance. So these are not, I will definitely go with the customer's numbers. Meaning if the customer offers me $300 per day, not $1,000 per day, I might.

08:53 Go with that customer if I don't have a ongoing contract at that time. So that doesn't mean that I will never ever take it though, but it is unlikely that I will not I get a contract offer.

If you look at the skills metrics, it's a motion page. 10:09 There is a search on the notion page.
