The problem:
Answer the following:
How accurately do you think you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
I think I can measure the time between events with TIMER with 85% accuracy.
@&
I believe you could measure a 100-second interval with much better than 85% accuracy. You wouldn't be 15 seconds off.
Most people couldn't measure a 1-second interval with 85% accuracy. Most probably could measure a 2-second interval with 85% accuracy.
The percent accuracy of the measurement depends on how much error, and how large the quantity being measured.
You see this in your answers to the next two questions.

What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
.5secs

How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
The percent error increases as time decreases.
