Read the passage, then answer the question. In 1903, the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, conducted a series of flight experiments near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, at a site called Kill Devil Hills. They had chosen the area because it offered steady winds and soft sand for safer landings. Their aircraft, the Wright Flyer, was a biplane constructed with a wooden frame and fabric covering. On December 17, 1903, the brothers attempted four flights. Orville piloted the first flight at 10:35 a.m. It lasted 12 seconds and traveled 120 feet. The second and third flights were longer, and Wilbur piloted the fourth and final flight of the day. That last flight lasted 59 seconds and covered 852 feet. A small group of witnesses observed the attempts, including members of the local lifesaving station. One of them used the brothers' camera to take a photograph of the first flight. After the fourth flight, a strong gust of wind damaged the Flyer, and the brothers did not fly it again. Although the flights were brief, they demonstrated controlled, powered flight. In later years, the Wright brothers continued to refine their designs and publicly demonstrated their aircraft in the United States and Europe. Question: The passage clearly states that Orville's first flight lasted how long?
