You can put this solution on YOUR website! He starts walking 45 min after 9:00
Then it will be 90 min before he starts walking again
--------------------------------
time passed - - - - - - time on clock - - - - how many periods
45 min - - - - - - - - - 9:45 - - - - - - - - - - - 1
90 min - - - - - - - - - 11:15 - - - - - - - - - - - 2
90 min - - - - - - - - - 12:45 - - - - - - - - - - - 3
90 min - - - - - - - - - 2:15 - - - - - - - - - - - - 4
---------------------------------------------------
At 2:15 PM He starts his 4th period of walking
Check my math!
To 9 am, add 4 hours and 30 minutes to account for 3 ( three, THREE) completed patterns.
Then add additional 45 minutes what Samson spent running in his fourth pattern.
You will get then 2:15 pm - at this time Samson will start walking in his fourth period.
It is your answer.
