Australia season 3, episode 3 weird timer situation

I’m watching Australia season 3 and during the 3rd episode they have to tear up the task paper in a certain amount of time, but the second task is then given which says to fulfill the task on the back of the paper they just tore up and that “your time started when you entered the room.” During Mel’s task, a wide shot from above shows Lesser Tom’s iPad with a time of 0.0 long before he blows his whistle (as if the clock never started). Did anyone else notice this? Am I just weird for being bothered by it?
