Your password consists of 2 digits followed by a dash followed by 2 digits followed by a dash followed by 3 digits.
Instead of 69 for the middle two digits you reported the three digits 069.
If I don't happen to catch the error (and I usually won't) this would result in non-posting of your work. Be sure you provide the access code exactly as specified in the message I sent containing the code. If there was an 069 in that message, please be sure to let me know so I can correct the error.

** Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **
.1719
I took the ending time after click 20 (257.3281) and subtracted from it the starting time to arrive at a total elapsed time then divided this answer by 20 to get the average.
** Your frequency distribution for the 20 time intervals (interval, number of times it was observed) **
.15625,6
.171875,10
.1875,1

** Your general comment to this point **
** Why did you observe only certain time intervals? **
Perhaps the timer is designed to round times to fit a certain number of different intervals. It does not differentiate times below a certain interval.
** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
The timer cannot differetiate in intervals smaller than .015625 seconds.
Good. Note that this is 1/64 second.
** Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **
4.984375
5.796875
6.015625
5.390625
6.65625
5.71875
5.90625
6.6875
6.03125
6.140625
** Your general comment to this point: **
** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
Because the numbers are larger, the precision of the timer is much greater in relation to the measured times, so there are no repeats.
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
Since the smallest increment is .015625 the answer is somewher between a and b.
** Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program. **

Excellent work.
Do be careful about that access code.
