How long did it take John Hughes to write the screenplay for The Breakfast Club?

There's a family legend that my older brother loved The Breakfast Club so much that as soon as he left the theater he turned right around, bought another ticket, and watched it again.
There's no question that The Breakfast Club is one of the most iconic films from the 1980s, and probably of all time. Kids today freeze-frame themselves with their fists in the air and they don't even know why.
Maybe that's because this movie took the bold step of finally taking on the jock-nerd high school hierarchy, unlike any other movie from the '80s...

Correct Answer: Two days
The answer is: Two days. John Hughes wrote the coming-of-age classic The Breakfast Club in just two days. Some of the film’s most memorable moments, however, were improvised. Judd Nelson improvised the iconic raised fist that closes the movie. He also improvised the part where his character spits in the air and catches it.Source
