What is the formula (I'm not sure it exists at all, maybe it's just a random number) to determine the amount of extra (added) time in futbol (soccer) that get's added after the obligatory 90 minutes.   I think that it should be the sum of every action that wastes time. Like injuries, corners, etc. I almost see, from 1 minute, up to 5 minutes, never more than that.     Related:

After every half during a football (soccer) game, the refs add stoppage time to the clock to compensate for lost time due to injuries and penalties.  But how closely does stoppage time equal real game time lost? (Are there different stoppage time calculations for different leagues?)  And if it's nearly exact, then what's the logic in delaying or faking injuries, as players on a winning team are often accused of doing. Wouldn't that delay just be tacked on at the end of a game or half?

I was just wondering, what is the most normal way of interpretating in the last two hours.  If somebody asked you: What have you been doing in the last two hours?  What events from what time period would you mostly cover in your answer if it was already 19:40?     A. I would mention all important things since 17:00 until 19:40(now)   or       B. I would mention all important things since 18:00 until 19:40   (because 40 minutes can be understood as almost hour, but I am not sure if people would count it if it is not full 60 minute hour yet)     C. I would mention all important things since 17:00 until 19:00   Personally, I would go with choice A. But I am not sure if this is the most common way people use it. It might seem that it is almost 3 hours (2h 40m) but so far it is still just 2 hours + some minutes because i would say in the last 3 hours ONLY if 3x60m was completed and would not care if it was more than 3 hours but it still would have to be less than 4 hours.  Does somebody understand me? Which is the most common way of understanding?

Imagine a very fast bowler. The ball pitches, is missed by the batsman, is missed by the wicket keeper, and flies over the boundary. How much runs/extras?  Imagine a very fast bowler. The ball doesn't pitch, is missed by all, and flies over the boundary. How much runs/extras?  Bonus: Did either ever happen at some reasonable level? (The first might be physically impossible, but the second seems doable.)

On Stack Overflow, the time shown for answers and comments is incorrect. When the post is just 20 mins old, the comments and answers say that they are 12 hours old. I have seen this mistake in more than one post. What is the problem with the clock / time display?  Please, take a look at that.

I want to express simply that some time had elapsed. Is the following correct?     It was passed 10 minutes.   Are there any alternatives?

Why are we allowed to ask only one question per 40 minutes? Shouldn't this time be reduced?  Also, when I was posting my second question on Computer Science.SE then this time limit was 40 minutes but when I head towards posting this question, here at meta, then it was showing 20 minutes limit. What is the logic behind this difference?

Just the other day I was talking to a colleague and he was telling me soccer fields can differ in size, up to 20 meters in width.  Can somebody give me the exact word on this?

If a player commits a direct free kick offence in their own penalty area, this results in a penalty kick instead of a direct free kick. However, if the offence is an indirect free kick offence, it remains as an indirect free kick .  What offences result in an indirect free kick?

I have this code in my LaTeX:   \FPset{totalHours}{0}  \newcommand{\entry}[5]{     \FPeval{totalHours}{(totalHours)+#5}     #1 &amp; #2 &amp; #3 &amp; #4 &amp; #5 \\ }   Where \entry is meant to be an entry in a time log. The 5th argument is a number representing the number of hours in that entry. I want to keep a running total of the hours in a variable I can print later on, totalHours.   This seems to do the \FPeval but then totalHours gets reset to 0 by the next time I write \entry. What is the correct way to keep a running total? Thanks.

I recently read a math problem and, having not yet taken anything beyond calculus 1, was curious about how to solve it correctly.   Problem:  Calculate the probability of two people meeting at the same location between 1 and 2 p.m. Assume both people show and person 1 will wait 15 minutes for person 2.     Doesn't this probability increase as the time frame shrinks?  For example, Isn't there a much smaller chance the pair will meet if person 1 arrives at 1:00 vs arrives at 1:45 (the probability of meeting becomes 1).  Is this somewhat easily answered using basic statistics?  Just curious if my thought process is accurate or way wrong.

If I have a cell formatted as date+time in Excel, how can I add to this in terms of minutes? It would need to work whether I was adding 20 minutes, or 2,500 minutes.   So, for example if I had this spreadsheet, what formula could I put in B5 to get a result of 2013-09-22 09:10?    I tried using =B4+TIME(0,B3,0), but it gives 2013-09-21 09:10 which is a day off. It works fine though if B3 is less than a day's worth.

One can calculate the probability of a correct score of a football match by Poisson(Number of Team1 goals, Mean average Team1 goals) x Poisson(Number of Team2 goals, Mean average Team2 goals)  So for 0:0 scoreline, Poisson(0, 1.05) x Poisson(0, 2.5)  if mean Team1 is 1.05 and mean Team2 is 2.5.   But how does one calculate the probability/odds of "home team to win by exactly one goal"? Adding double Poissons for each 2:1, 1:0, 3:2, etc scorelines might be one of the methods but it will be a tedious task and I am trying to avoid Excel for the time being to find the simplest method to calculate this. How do you involve the other team in your calculations?   Was hoping an easier, simpler way was there (something like calculating P=0 and then 1-P(0) to find odds of P>=1).

When the ball is being bounced by the goalkeeper from his hands and a player steals it without touching the goalkeeper (while the goalkeeper is not touching the ball) and scores, is it legal or not?   shows what I'm talking about.

If, during kicks from the penalty mark, the ball hits the goalpost and lobs outside the penalty area and then returns back into the goal without touching any player, will it be considered a goal or not?    Please provide a reference to IFAB laws if possible.

What is "playing too long"? How much is too long?    How long is "rest for a few minutes"?  What is the purpose of this feature? Player benefits? Account maintenance?

I am using the /scoreboard command. I have everything working, but I would like not only all the players indivisual scores on the sideboard, but also the two teams. I would like them to update constantly or if necissary about 1 times a second. There are two teams blue and red, and every time someone presses certain buttons, they trigger command blocks that add one point to their idivisual scores. Thanks for your help!!  dGramop

Why do players sometimes run after the ball after they score a goal?
