Easy solution to that:

Day 1 Solve problem.
Day 2 Read Slashdot, User Friendly.
Day 3 Call in sick.
Day 4 Muck about with StumbleUpon, YouTube.
...
Day 44 Post on comp.lang.python.
Day 45 Tell people you solved problem.


It's all billable time too. Since you're manager's requirement is that 
you work slowly and inefficiently so as not to upset him and your fellow 
coders, you would be billing for 45 days if you followed instructions 
anyway.

*wink*
