I had a couple of buggy bits where the game told me I had a paradox when 
everyone was already standing in front of the tardis at the end. Hey, 
ask for your money back. ;-)

I think the sync is probably not based on an absolute clock, but on 
repeating the keypresses (essentially), which might get out of sync as 
the processor gets loaded trying to keep up with more and more aliens.

And of course, the robots *will* be in different places in different 
runs, if the thing the second alien does moves the floor up and down 
that the first alien is walking on.
