if it was accurate to tenth of a second,values like 4.48 will become 4.4. 
So apply the rule for all times and then see which time differs with the others?

Skier C would be different because 114.36 rounds up to 114.4 (Skier A), 114.40 IS 114.4 (Skier B), and 114.44 rounds down to 114.4 (Skier D). Skier C would be different because 114.48 rounds up to 114.5. At least, that's what I think. Hope that helps!
