It would be absurd in this situation not to take some time off.

May seem absurd, but it's the rule. Going to your assigner with "well, I know something had to come off, and I thought it was probably 5 seconds, so I picked 3" could get you in trouble. Going to your assigner with "I know time should have come off, but none of us had a count so we left it alone" is backed by rule.
You can get away with the former in lower level games. I wouldn't try it in anything above middle school, though.
