Is that the interval from 0 to 10? Then why is 20 the interval from 0 to 20? Did she rest between 10 and 20 seconds?

I could be missing some other error you have in mind too.<br /><br />That's not to say that it's not a tremendously stupid graph, however. Such a nonstandard and misleading way of representing the intervals is sure to cause a lot of confusion.some guynoreply@blogger.com
