Disclaimer: I can't test this while I'm at work, but using "while 1:"
instead of "while time.time() - start < 30.0" would be better. In the former case if you press enter after time has run out, it won't print the time, in the latter you could potentially make a correct answer after time has run out. Example: At 29.0 you answer raw_input awaits and you wait 5 minutes, then answer. It will still run the print statement. The loop started and it doesn't matter how long you wait, because it won't evaluate that until the loop starts again. But it may alright depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
