I really enjoyed the experience, although it tested my patience more than I expected.

Dat is begrijpelijk. Wij hadden ons volledig voorbereid op het evenement, toch bleven bepaalde aspecten onvoorspelbaar.
That's understandable. We had fully prepared for the event, yet certain aspects remained unpredictable.

Stel dat wij haar kader niet hadden overgenomen; zou de uitkomst op vergelijkbare wijze succesvol zijn geweest?
Suppose we hadn't adopted her framework; would the outcome have been similarly successful?

Indien het budget gereduceerd was, zou zij dan vergelijkbare resultaten hebben weten te leveren?
