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.

I think 5:46.0 could be as much as 5:46.0 and as little as 5:45.1; and 5:36 could be as much as 5:36.0 and as little as 5:35.1

It depends on the clock / system.

Most, in my experience, are of the type JugglingRef described and NOT of the type you describe.

So when the game starts with 8:00 on the clock, after 1/10th of a second it goes to 7:59? Actually, I don't have any idea how they work and was only speculating. The math is the same either way.

Yes. The 1/10s are always there, they are just not displayed until there's less than a minute to play.

So, the clock is really 7:59.9 with the part in red not displayed
