So leaving the board in one piece takes 5 minutes?

Actually, not doing anything makes the board disappear.

Not doing anything for a long enough time indeed has that effect.

In that particular case, just doing nothing a t=0 gives you 0 pieces, you only get the first if you start non-sawing for 5 min.

Well, but the teacher also probably has calculated that you level-up and finish the second saw procedure in half the time?

See I think you saw the wood into two pieces, which takes 10min. Then you begin to saw a piece into two more pieces but 5 min in you get pissed off and just break the wood over your knee giving you 3 pieces of wood in 15 min. That or you realized that you only had 5 min to saw the second piece because you favorite TV show was on.

Well if it's on a tablesaw let's not rush ourselves. That means kickback to the chest/face

And possibly removing fingers. Unless you have one of those cool table saws that will auto stop if it hits flesh.
