For example, sideline throwin at midcourt. A2 throws to A1 in the FC with no defensive pressure. A1 dribbles back and forth across the court near the division line with no defensive pressure. He crosses the court 3 times, sideline to sideline, at a walking pace. Knowing that it takes
at least 3 seconds
or more to cross the court at a walk, I can take off 9 seconds. That is definite knowledge.
[/B][/QUOTE]I disagree completely with that. The only way that you can have definite knowledge is through an official's count of some type, or having some other type of official information available. Using your own estimate of time consumed is not considered having DEFINITE information relative to the time involved. It's a guess on your part- as you admitted above by using the terms "at least" and "or more". Those aren't definitive terms. If it took 3.5 seconds/trip, which is the "or more" part of your equation, you would have to add 10.5 seconds back on instead of 9 seconds.
No guessing allowed according to the rules covering this one.
