To be more exact I moaned slowly took out my Chumash and spent five minutes looking for the right perek. Then I grumbled and moaned some more before I actually got started. Turns out no matter how fast even the smartest girl in my class was working there was no way anyone could finish a gazillion questions before recess so my teacher called for us to stop when I was only on the fifth question. Yippee!
