The llama presented at normal teaching pace is about 16 hours of lecture. This includes going over the exercises, and some standard joke material {grin}. This also includes any question answering time.

If we are careful to omit any "slight diversions", then it brings it down to about 12 hours of real lecture. Compressing the presentation slightly can bring that down to 10 hours. Omitting 2 hours of any of the material (usually the stuff at the end) brings it down to 8 hours.

Why is that so hard to believe?
