One Saturday morning, Mary cycled from her home in Dublin to Maynooth, and then cycled home along the same route that afternoon. The distance from her home to Maynooth is exactly 10 miles and she cycled at a constant speed of 10 miles per hour in both directions. On Sunday, she decided to make the same cycling trip. However, due to a westerly wind, she cycled at a constant speed of 5 miles per hour when going from Dublin to Maynooth, and at a speed of 15 miles per hour on the return trip from Maynooth to Dublin.

How much longer, in minutes, did the trip take on Sunday?

OK, I'll bite: It did not take any longer.
