BET COUNCIL: Patrons, Huber has asked for your judgment on last week's bet. We asked how many seconds a HAMMER would be displayed on screen in the Mandragora launch trailer. Huber and Isla bet 6 seconds. Don bet 8 seconds.
When I clipped the segments out in Premiere, it showed a time of 00:00:07:29 -- just over 7 seconds. To me, that since it was above 7 seconds, that definitively makes Don the closest bet. However, Huber argues that we should not count fractions of a second, only whole seconds, which would mean that since 7 is equally between 6 and 8, then Don, Huber, and Isla, should each receive a point. What say you? Reply in the comments below.

I usually don't get bogged down by fractions. I would normally just do whole seconds.

The bet was how many seconds, not how many frames.
