      “Un día, uno de los guardias, que tenían prohibido portar reloj para no darnos pistas, se fue al baño, sacó el suyo y, a hurtadillas, me lo confirmó: ‘No sé cómo lo hace: ¡Son las 10.15 en punto!”.
      “One day, one of the guards, who were forbidden to wear a watch so as not to give us clues, went to the bathroom, took out his own and, on the sly, confirmed it to me: 'I don't know how he does it: it's exactly 10:15!”.
