The OP is a pretty unique situation with a very high probability that a well-informed estimate would be right to within 1/10 of a second.
I will add that this year's interps contain "the opposite" play where the clock does not start. The official is directed to take some time off, even though s/he has no direct knowledge of how much time should have been used.
