guys<00:11:25.760> um<00:11:26.040> if<00:11:26.360> if<00:11:26.480> we<00:11:26.600> can<00:11:27.120> give<00:11:27.240> you
guys um if if we can give you
guys um if if we can give you
conflicting<00:11:28.000> data<00:11:28.360> again<00:11:28.560> your<00:11:28.760> ACC<00:11:29.399> is<00:11:29.519> going
conflicting data again your ACC is going
conflicting data again your ACC is going
to<00:11:29.680> be<00:11:29.760> going<00:11:29.959> into<00:11:30.240> hyperdrive<00:11:30.880> if<00:11:30.959> you<00:11:31.079> look
to be going into hyperdrive if you look
to be going into hyperdrive if you look
down<00:11:31.560> here<00:11:31.760> it's<00:11:31.959> fine<00:11:32.200> if<00:11:32.279> you<00:11:32.399> look<00:11:32.560> up<00:11:32.760> here
down here it's fine if you look up here
down here it's fine if you look up here
then<00:11:33.120> you<00:11:33.240> get<00:11:33.440> conflicting<00:11:33.959> data<00:11:34.720> and<00:11:34.800> then
then you get conflicting data and then
then you get conflicting data and then
we<00:11:35.079> have<00:11:35.200> to<00:11:35.320> flip<00:11:35.600> the<00:11:35.760> image<00:11:36.120> for<00:11:36.240> you<00:11:36.360> to<00:11:36.519> see
we have to flip the image for you to see
we have to flip the image for you to see
