On Monday, the escalator was not working. It took Tom 18 seconds to reach the top, climbing two steps each second. By Tuesday the escalator had been repaired and Tom took only 12 seconds to reach the top climbing at the same rate. Wednesday Tom decided to ride the escalator without climbing at all. How long did it take to reach the top this time?
