Funny enuf, I've experienced this several times, questioning vendors and
proctors what an acceptable interpretation really is.
Let me just highlight few points from what I gathered, using the your
case-study:
1. For most business hours, employees work for 3 hours(180minutes) in
the morning and then 5 hours (300minutes) after launch.
2. so if you start work for 09:00, and work for 180 minutes, at the
181st minute, you're not expected to be working right? Which means the
solution should be 09:00 - 11.59 right?
3. same thing will apply to 13:00 to 16:59, as that range has got
300minutes within it, anything into 17:00 will mean 301minutes of work.
So the way you plan your time-range acl will depend on what is required
in the question. If I don't want my staff to use quake during work
hours, which mean they can use it outside work hours. 11.59 is still
part of work hours because that's the 180minute of work in the morning,
the 181st minute is outside work hours ... 12:00, so staff can use the
quake at this time 181st minute.
However, like I said earlier, it depends on the requirement of the
question, you could well be required to configure an acl to include span
across 9.00 to 12.00 literally, in this case your best bet will be to
check with your proctor and let him know what you're thinking, if your
proctor is having a nice/good day, they will usually help explain the
grey areas around tasks ... But Proctors are not allowed to give you
answers as you know!
Many Thanks

Subject: time ranges / gotcha etc
Hi everyone
I recently did a lab (IEv3 lab 16) and got a question to stop admins
using quake in business hours (not including the lunch hour).
I did the whole acl/time range thing and put in
09:00 to 12:00
13:00 to 17:00
When I checked the answer it was actually.
09:00 to 11:59
13:00 to 16:59
I know "close isn't good enough, etc etc etc" but is my answer really
incorrect?
The question said they work from 9am til 5pm it did not say that they
finish and infinitely small amount of time before 5pm. The actual
answer in the solutions guide does not encompass the exact moment that
17:00 happens so in many ways I feel that my 59secs out answer is still
as correct as the solution. To be honest though I'm not too bothered
don't about the laws of physics just the points that I didn't give
myself over something so little.
Anyway my question(s).
Are the really going to questions that picky on the actual lab?
Would I have got that wrong in the exam?
How do you know the person on the exam wont look at the answer "16:59"
and think "smart ass, I actually said 17:00 not 16:59, wrong"
Could you argue that the correct solution is really a matter of
prespective? (ie 16:59 ends at
16:59999999999999999999999999999999999999' , actually before the moment
of 17:00)
