考试持续了多长时间？

Harry¹:     How was the examination², Dick?
Dick:       Not too bad. I think I passed in English and Mathematics. The questions were very easy. How about you, Harry?
Harry:     The English and Maths papers weren’t easy enough for me. I hope I haven’t failed.
Dick:       I think I failed the Intelligence Test. I could answer sixteen of the questions.
They were very easy. But I couldn't answer the rest.  They were too difficult for me.
Harry:       Intelligence tests are awful, aren’t they?
Dick:       I hate them. I’m sure I’ve got a low I.Q.
Harry:     Oh, cheer up（振作点）! Perhaps we didn’t do too badly.
The guy next to me wrote his name at the top of the paper.
Dick:       Yes?
Harry:     Then he sat there and looked at it for three hours! He didn’t write a word!
