While John was answering the questions asked by that examiner, in other stalls, the same thing was happening.
Candidates were being attended little by little while the bleachers in that arena were filling quickly. And soon, the typical noise of the crowds permeated that place, with the conversations of thousands of people waiting there.
Gradually the first competitors called at the first moment were now leaving, giving space to other people.
"Competitor number 57, go to stall 40..."
...
"Competitor 65, go to stall 3..."
...
The calls continued as more people came and went from that stage.
At that moment, competitor number 65 arrived at stall 3, immediately handing over his identification to start this test.
And while he was sitting there waiting for identification, an examiner checking his information suddenly asked in surprise. "Wow, are you that, Mr. Quinn?"
"Yea." He replied.
