Thanks Derek. That probably expresses my intent better as well.

I just wasted >6 minutes of my life testing a theory:
Between 45:18 and 46:50 every run gave 0, between 46:50 and 48:17 they were all
1's, 48:17..49:49 0's, 49:49..51:20 1's

So it seems this behaviour is dependent on whether it is an odd or even multiple
of 90 seconds since some point in the past, at least on my box.

I guess it is just one of those things, best that could be done is shift this
anomaly somewhere else. Not to worry.

Pete
