A play clock, also called a delay-of-game timer, is a countdown clock intended to speed up the pace of the game in gridiron football.The offensive team must put the ball in play by either snapping the ball during a scrimmage down or kicking the ball during a free kick down before the time expires, or else they will be assessed a 5-yard delay of game (American football) or time count violation ...
A stopwatch is a timepiece designed to measure the amount of time that elapses between its activation and deactivation. A large digital version of a stopwatch designed for viewing at a distance, as in a sports stadium, is called a stop clock. In manual timing, the clock is started and stopped by a person pressing a button.
There is also a similar way to build a kind of "software random number generator". This involves comparing the timer tick of the operating system (the tick that usually is 100–1000 times per second) and the speed of the CPU. If the OS timer and the CPU run on two independent clock crystals the situation is ideal and more or less the same as ...

Studying a random selection is a more practical approach to get a grasp on these questions – and compiling this sample is as simple as hitting Special:Random a bunch of times to record what comes up. Random pages tests by various editors can be found in Category:Random pages tests, although the category is not comprehensive. The concept of ...
