A hospital parking lot charges $2.00 for the first hour or part thereof, and $1 for each additional hour or part thereof. A weekly pass costs $49 and allows unlimited parking for 7 days. If each visit Jonny makes to the hospital lasts one and a half hours, what is the minimum number of visits for which buying a pass would be less expensive than paying each time?
