In CSTal this time is given (just about). in most other prograsm you can
work it out.

CSTal says (for example): time: 60 secs, time bottle 320 secs 450 secs.

The first time is what is will try for.

The time bottle is what extra time gulps it can drink, if it wants.

The second time on the time bottle is the emergency time bottle. It can
gulp from this too if it is real trouble.

If it takes a drink, it will change these times on the screen.
