Nfr: did you attempt the lab yet. I hate to tell you this: life is not fair,
get use to it. You are winning, and no one cares. We are trying to study
here.

Sure, there's a HUGE point. The 20-shot guy wanted it. But so did a
first-time test-taker who wanted the same seat. That's the point. If
you've already had 20 shots to pass the exam, I think it is fair for you to
step aside to let somebody else who hadn't even had ONE shot to go ahead.
You can't just keep hogging the resources. THAT'S the point.

The bottom line is that you're creating a problem for other people. Other
people are being hindered from taking their shot at the exam because you (as
the 20-timer) are evidently not properly preparing yourself for the exam.
It's not fair to those people.
