(a)look just as you blow the whistle, and see that the clock says :07, and then the clock stops at :06, you can't put time back, because one second of lag time is given.

(c) look and blow the whistle at the same moment, and the clock says :05, and then stops at :02, you set the clock back to :05.

Why is it you wouldn't set the clock back to :04 in case (c)?

That's just the rule. If 1 second runs off, that's lag time, and you don't set it back. But if more than 1 second runs off, and you have definite knowledge of when you blew the whistle, you set it back to the time it was.

See Case 5.10.1 Sit D.

Thanks. Like magic, lag time drops out of the equation . . .

I think that's wrong, Kelvin. I think "99%" of the clocks *do not* have the horn go off as soon as the display shows zero.

Most clocks turn "immediately" from 8:00 to 7:59 when they are started, and the horn sounds 1 second after the display hits zero. (There is (at least) one brand that waits a second before going from 8:00 to 7:59 and has the horn sound when the display shows zero).
