I personally liked this answer, but I don't think my professor will (but it's really hard to read his mind), so I chose "je suis allé me positionner"-- when I find out the prof's answer, would you like me to let your know?

This would be the obvious answer to me, but I don't think it's what my professor wants. Can I let you know when I find out?
