Good luck. I have no advice (sensible advice anyway) other than be calm, practice and my fingers are crossed for you.
I was going to suggest buy a tiny tiny phone. Put it somewhere where the sun doesn't shine on silent mode, but on vibrate mode. And then when an hour is up get a friend to phone you. Not only will you win but it will be a very pleasurable experience too.

please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.

My advice would be don't waste your time. As an earlier poster stated it is a nigh on impossible task and in my opinion a waste of half a day in your life.Spend time with your loved ones instead .0

I see no harm in trying snakepilsen, as the saying goes if you're not in you can't win! I thought that that was the motto to comping and winning. I don't imagine anyone there will get exactly on the hour but I'm sure whoever gets the closest even if it's 5 mins out can still be the winner
Best of luck and if you can't use the phone
go with the wristbands 0 -

The OP states in order to win you need to be within ONE minute either side . The harm is the waste of half a day which could be better spent.0 -
If you can't use MaineBlues idea
then I would go with the counting to 3600 idea but as you're counting maybe clap your hands then clap your laps. Good luck, hope you win Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!0
