Tried an experiment up at the local school today. Had the clock running with less than a minute, tenths flying by. Had three people observe carefully. When I blew the whistle, they were supposed to note the number of tenths showing.
Did it 5 times. The three observers did not all give the same answer once. They gave 3 different answers 3 times. Of the 15 responses, 2 were: I don't know. Conclusion: A mistake involving .2 seconds is not obvious to anyone.
