Don't obsess ...
Stan,
Thank you. Great advice. Just to make clear, I only started obsessing
on this last night, not eleven years ago ;-)

Uhhh, this ever get answered?
I'm studying Gleim's and I don't get it!
The only way you could be both abeam and over the VOR is if you blew
there in a very strong wind, or you made too much turn. It says,
'abeam
or over', not 'abeam and over'. Don't obsess over details that don't
matter anyway. The only time I would time a hold is on a checkride.
In
the real world, the GPS tells you where you are with much more
precision
than a clock, and all ATC cares about is that you stay within your
airspace.
