** Your general comment to this point: **
** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
They are more spread out so the timer is not separating them by one or two intervals, and we are not clicking consistently
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
C.
That is the smallest amount provided by the total time.
