- About 5 minutes
- About 10 minutes
- About 20 minutes
See the answer
About 20 minutes
It’s said that after anger peaks, people generally start to regain their composure in about 20 minutes, though this varies from person to person. This is because once adrenaline secretion reaches its highest point, it naturally begins to decrease.

Because the newspaper mistakenly reported it as a green light.
When traffic lights first appeared, the green light was supposedly called “green,” but because it fit the Japanese concept of “ao” (blue/green), a newspaper wrote it as “blue light,” and that usage spread. Apparently, Japan is the only place that calls it a blue light. Come to think of it, aojiru (green vegetable juice) and ao-ringo (green apples) are also actually green, aren’t they?
