From: Gavin K. > Following are the results I obtained from running my test > script against everyone’s submissions. Oops. I found a small bug in my test script’s counting of offsets. (Large update intervals would cause it to think that the class was transitioning outside of a +/- 5 minute range.) Here are updated results and test script. Sorry for the bandwidth. 🙂 C:\Ruby\Quiz\FuzzyTime\>testall.bat C:\Ruby\Quiz\FuzzyTime\>ruby -rtest\_fuzzytime.rb BenGiddings\_1.rb Loaded suite BenGiddings\_1 Started F Finished in 0.016 seconds. 1.
