I think that you are supposed to email it to him.

I'm pretty sure there were some other posts like this. Russian Institute sounds familiar.

<The sailor said, “We have been at sea for a long time, I think for ten hours”. >

10 hours??? That's barely a day's work

c) If something prevented you when you’re reading this text, what is it? If you have noticed something wrong in this text, what is it?
