** Your general comment to this point **
You can only click so fast.
** Why did you observe only certain time intervals? **
Its difference from one time interval to next and it show that the timer is consistent about every other other time.
** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
Its difference from one time interval to next and it show that the timer is consistent about every other other time.

** Your general comment to this point: **
** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
You were not clicking like rapid fire so the times were different.
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
I think b. because you can click and get about that close between clicks and more than likely you would have a less difference that .1.
** Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program. **
