Why return t + 10;? I'm also curious about the curl braces creating a new scope but no if() / do / while() code. I'm not trying to be critical; just a little curious...

"1 January 1972 00:00:00 UTC was 1 January 1972 00:00:10 TAI exactly" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time

why t + 10? Posted Jul 8, 2012 1:53 UTC (Sun) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] I was then going to ask why add ten seconds, but then I found out what the ten seconds were about (scroll down to the image titled "Time scales since the cesium atomic frequency standard").
