Stefan Pochmanns review of the QJ timer showed that the ORDINARY Stackmat Timer, the ones used in competition, maybe isn't totally accurate.
He tried (2:50 in the video) to do 100 times as close to 1.00 as possible, and it showed that it had certain times that didn't occur at all. Every third hundredth of a second, starting at 0.92, didn't get any "hits" at all, while the other ones avareged around 8-9. Coincidence?
I did a hundred tries, and this was the result:
0.81 1
0.82 -
0.83 -
0.84 2
0.85 -
0.86 2
0.87 -
0.88 4
0.89 -
0.90 4
0.91 7

0.93 7
0.94 25

0.96 16
0.97 11

(Yes, I wasnt very good at it, but that's not the point.)
My timer does the exact same thing!! I have NO hits on every third hundredth of a second, starting at 0.89, until 1.13!! This is NOT what a as-professional-as-a-hobbytimer-can-be should be! Also I get no hits on 0.99, which very unlikely is a coincidence.
I want as many as possible to do at least 50 times try to stop at 1:00, in one way or another write down your result, and post it. Both me and Pochmann used the "new" one with two extra buttons and a line-in. If you are NOT using that version, write it down. The reason you should do at least 50 is that otherwise that the statistic is better with as large number as possible (100 tries take like 3 minutes, totally reasonable).
How to do it pretty easy in the next post.
