If you start a count when the clock reads 5:46 and you call a violation when the clock reads 5:36, you will have allowed between :10.0 and :10.9
5:46 could be:
  • as little as 5:46.0 (S1)
  • as much as 5:46.9 (S2)
5:36 could be:
  • as little as 5:36.0 (E1)
  • as much as 5:36.9 (E2)
S1 - E1 = 10 seconds, right on the money
S1 - E2 = 9.1 seconds

S2 - E1 = 10.9 seconds
S2 - E2 = 10 seconds, right on the money

Average: 10 seconds.
