Karl’s fingers flew across the keyboard, but the program was stubborn and unyielding. Despite his efforts over the past 20 minutes, he had made no progress.

Iker, growing impatient, checked the time and remarked, “Are you done? It’s been half an hour.”

Karl replied with determination, “I’ll try again.”
