If not, what's the rule? When you look up and see the clock still running, you:
1) Put up the time that you initially saw.
2) Put up the time that you initially saw minus one second (allowing for the timer's reaction).
3) Put up the time that you initially saw plus one second, assuming (by interpretation) that one second passed before you looked up.
4) None of the above.
The fact that there are only 5 replies to this question tells me that I'm not the only one who is unclear on this point.

If the clock runs for a second or less
after you saw the time, you don't touch the time. Iow, you don't add anything on. If the clock read 5 seconds when you looked at it, and it then stops with between 4 and 5 seconds showing on it, everything is fine.That's allowed lag time.
If more than 1 second runs off the clock though, you re-set the clock back to the
exact time showing on the clock when you glanced at it. Thats "definite knowledge".
Case book play 5.10.1SitD lays it out.
