I wonder how many times they'll be asked this time before they get it right.

They've borrowed themselves some time for sure (and of course the UK taxpayer has stumped up too via large bilateral loans) but sooner or later the Germans, who're calling the shots, will start wanting to dictate financial policy elsewhere in the Eurozone and countries like Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy are in line for their very own variation on the Greek treatment I reckon. That'll be the quid pro quo...
Sometimes people need a little help to make the 'right' decisions so, yes, it might require the question to be asked more than once.
