milliseconds. only a few orders of magnitude off. fuck.
If by seconds you mean milliseconds ;)
Maybe it’s counting in microseconds?
Did they specify the time down to the nanosecond?
Wow, this is wild. billionths of a second?!
Not a second, but a minute is too coarse
Well, once every 120 seconds is still quite a leap from 10 every second...
At the rate of 1 second/second.
They probably meant millisecond
Doesn't it depend on how much less than a second it is?
