Rick says the pendulum spends more time
at the ends of the swings and that makes it easier. I say that makes it
harder.
It's fine to
actuate the timer 50 ms early if we also stop the timer 50 ms early. A
person who consistently anticipates 50 ms early can be a better timer
for anticipated events than one who is randomly off by 20 ms.
... the better way to handle the pendulum is to start the timer,
count out 20 or more swings, then stop the timer.
I personally think that any student using that tired phrase should be
lined up against the wall and shot, or a least thoroughly flayed with
a cat-o-nine-tails.
