  from time import time,sleep
  
  startTime = time()
  print "Press Ctrl-C to exit."
  try:
      while True:
          sleep(1)
  except KeyboardInterrupt:
      difference = time()-startTime
      hours = int(difference/3600)
      print difference
      difference-=3600*hours
      mins = int(difference/60)
      print difference
      difference -= mins*60
      secs = int(difference)
      print difference
      print "This has been running for:",hours,"Hours,",mins,"Mins, and",secs,"Seconds"

  I just found your site today, so this is my first shot at your daily program. Love your riddles. Wrote this one in python.

      import time
  
      stuff = raw_input('Would you like to start the timer? Press either s to start or q to quit: ')
      print ' '
  
      while stuff != 's' and stuff != 'q':
          stuff = raw_input('Please only enter either s to start or q to quit: ')
          print ' '
  
      if stuff == 's':
          start = time.clock()
  
          while stuff != 'q':
              stuff = raw_input('Press p to prinout the time or press q to quit: ')
              current = time.clock() - start
  
              minutes, seconds = divmod(current, 60)
  
              hours, minutes = divmod(minutes, 60)
  
              print int(round(hours, 0)),':',int(round(minutes, 0)),':',round(seconds, 2)

  Java:

  package com.tribool;
  
  import java.io.IOException;
  import java.util.Date;
  
  public class Main {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          Date startDate = new Date();
  
          System.out.println("Press enter to finish.");
  
          try {
              System.in.read();
          }
          catch (IOException e) {
              System.out.println("Caught IOException: " + e.getMessage());
          }
  
          long millisecondsElapsed = new Date().getTime() - startDate.getTime();
  
          double secondsElapsed = millisecondsElapsed / 1000.0;
          double minutesElapsed = secondsElapsed / 60.0;
          double hoursElapsed = minutesElapsed / 60.0;
  
          System.out.println("Seconds elapsed: " + secondsElapsed);
          System.out.println("Minutes elapsed: " + minutesElapsed);
          System.out.println("Hours elapsed: " + hoursElapsed);
      }
  }
