<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
    llResetTime();
   }
   touch_start(integer num_touch)
   {
    float time;
    time=llGetTime(); //Instead getting, and then resetting the time, we could use llGetAndReset() to accomplish the same thing.
    llResetTime();
    llSay(0,(string)time + " seconds have elapsed since the last touch." );
