Durante la verifica di matematica non c’è cosa migliore che prendere la penna e buttare giù qualche linea. Il silenzio è totale, il soggetto immobile; l’ora passa decisamente più veloce. During the math test there’s no better thing than taking the fountain pen and jot down some lines. Silence is absolute, the subject is perfectly still; this way, the hour passes pretty quickly.
