Hunter → Jessica → Larry

Explanation: Heating increases solubility and molecular motion (faster dissolution), stirring removes the saturated boundary layer and brings fresh solvent to the solute, so heating + stirring is fastest, heating alone is next, and room temperature without stirring is slowest.
