Your General Comment

I just realized that I haven't been placing the email part in my email address. Is this a major problem?

I took the last clock time and divided by 20.

Your general comment to this point

Why did you observe only certain time intervals?

No, they always end in 5 so therefore the numbers are being rounded.

What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals?

The timer program is very acurate because there is not a lot of time between each click.

Your general comment to this point:

Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice?

When you are going faster such as the clicks its more accurate

Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ...

A. because each answer is averaged within a second.
