(I am a teacher, so there is a form to such things.)In fact, in one game, I gave a PC an exam to take while he was on a vision quest. (Everyone else in the world on the same quest was in the auditorium taking the same exam, in fact.) He had to take the exam while I dealt with what the others were doing in game.
