Players walk between point A and B, trying to get to point B as close as possible to 10 seconds.

As they do this they are timed by Student B using a stopwatch.
Student B says "Go" and starts the timer.
Student A walks and is required to get to the finish as close as possible to 10 seconds.
Student A yells out "Stop" when they want Student B to stop the timer.
