John and Marco were playing a newly invented game in which they were allowed only one timeout, which lasted twenty seconds. John got frustrated halfway through the game when Marco took his twenty second timeout due to extreme fatigue. Was John’s frustration justified?

His frustration is only justified if Marco was taking his twenty-second (i.e. 22nd; as in two timeouts more than the twentieth) time out and not just his one twenty second (measure of time) time out. Ahh, the shortcomings of the english language.
