Your average time interval for 20 time intervals

.1964885

I took the time at the 20th and then took the 1st and substracted and divided by 20 I may should have taken the 21 to get 20 intervals I will see

Your general comment to this point

you also got .1875 5 times so I feel the human over 50 has about the same or maybe humans move about the same speed or maybe with our restrictions we can only get so faet and this is a average interval without really trying to do your fastest

Why did you observe only certain time intervals?

It means that you do do things with the same frenquency and I feel that it should be the same number THe timer may be accurate to just three digits.

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

The difference in the interval is to hunredths so it would only be accurate to the Hundredths

Your general comment to this point:

It seemed hard to hit the timer at the exact time of the beginningreath of the b

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

The is a number of things that have to be decided on each breath so this makes it harder to get the exact same time. when to breath when to hit the timer and when to stop the breath

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

I think the timer is capable of determining the time between two event to within about .0001 because after this place there where no values the same
