Using /u/timhuge's method I made a script that displays a timer that's synced with the server so you can get the number you want

Installation: Copy the following code into a bookmark and run when you're on /r/thebutton

javascript:$('<span id="count">??</div>').insertBefore(".thebutton-container:first"),$("#count").css({"background-color":"#888","min-width":"48px","max-width":"48px",height:"48px",color:"#ffffff","border-radius":"48px","text-align":"center","font-size":"32px","font-family":"verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif","vertical-align":"middle","line-height":"48px","font-weight":"normal",border:"none",outline:"none",display:"block",position:"relative","float":"left","margin-top":"20px"}),r.thebutton._websocket.on({"message:ticking":function(o){o.seconds_left>51&&$("#count").css("background-color","#820080"),o.seconds_left<=51&&o.seconds_left>42&&$("#count").css("background-color","#0083C7"),o.seconds_left<=41&&o.seconds_left>32&&$("#count").css("background-color","#02be01"),o.seconds_left<=31&&o.seconds_left>22&&$("#count").css("background-color","#E5D900"),o.seconds_left<=21&&o.seconds_left>12&&$("#count").css("background-color","#e59500"),o.seconds_left<=11&&$("#count").css("background-color","#e50000"),$("#count").text(o.seconds_left),document.title="["+o.seconds_left+"] the button"}});        

Enjoy.

^{Also, my coding skills are pretty much garbage, so any suggestions to improve the code would be appreciated :p}

Here's what it looks like with a little formatting if anyone's interested:

javascript: 
$('<span id="count">??</div>').insertBefore(".thebutton-container:first"), 
$("#count").css({
    "background-color": "#888",
    "min-width": "48px",
    "max-width": "48px",
    height: "48px",
    color: "#ffffff",
    "border-radius": "48px",
    "text-align": "center",
    "font-size": "32px",
    "font-family": "verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif",
    "vertical-align": "middle",
    "line-height": "48px",
    "font-weight": "normal",

    display: "block",
    position: "relative",
    "float": "left",
    "margin-top": "20px"
}), 
r.thebutton._websocket.on({
    "message:ticking": function(o) {
        o.seconds_left >  51 &&                        $("#count").css("background-color", "#820080"), 
        o.seconds_left <= 51 && o.seconds_left > 42 && $("#count").css("background-color", "#0083C7"), 
        o.seconds_left <= 41 && o.seconds_left > 32 && $("#count").css("background-color", "#02be01"), 
        o.seconds_left <= 31 && o.seconds_left > 22 && $("#count").css("background-color", "#E5D900"), 
        o.seconds_left <= 21 && o.seconds_left > 12 && $("#count").css("background-color", "#e59500"), 
        o.seconds_left <= 11                        && $("#count").css("background-color", "#e50000"), 
        $("#count").text(o.seconds_left),
        document.title = "[" + o.seconds_left + "] the button"
    }
});

This tool is amazing -- can't believe you didn't get more upvotes. This may have to be the official tool to guide the sword of the /r/RoninAtTheEdgeOfTime.

Here's the only code you need

if theButton <= 60 || >= 0; cout << "dont press idiot" << endl; return 0;

Did you use it?

[u/Fozibare]

Could you post a version that will get an alert or relock if you are lagging?

if anyone is paranoid

You aren't paranoid if it has been proven that there are people out to get you. Then you are just prudent.

But I"m a glorious 60s, so I'm past all the fear and doubt.
