No one is allowed to talk. At the end of 50 minutes, a bell rings, and whether you re finished or not, you must immediately move to another office, have a different boss and different colleagues and start a job that has nothing to do with the one you were just working on. Imagine doing that six or seven times a day. Obviously, these workers would accomplish little if anything. They have a profound intellectual foundation, and a long history.
