You have to know that time range is inclusive (and it rounds at one
minute), the same as the port range in an ACL. Similarly, you have to
know that gt and lt are exclusive.
My personal opinion is that you will lose points for being imprecise.
The right answer is to always ask proctor, especially when dealing
with access lists and things like that. Yes, they are picky, because
they want you to ask. To make myself clear, I will give you another
example: say that you are asked to prevent BGP sessions forming from
behind a router. Ask yourself which are the networks behind the
router (including connected?) and if you really need to block session
initiation both ways or to allow exceptions. After that, confirm your
understanding with the proctor. You are not asking for the solution,
you actually seek a clarification of the requirements (while showing
that you know your options). This is the kind of misinterpretation
that could make you lose simple points and never realize why - just
because you did not ask.
