  1. Assuming that we want a minimum resolution of measuring your reaction time to be 1/100 of a second but your board has a 50MHz clock. How can you use a counter to generate a clock with frequency 100Hz.
  2. Now that you have a 100Hz clock, you can use that to count the time it takes you to press the switch after the LED goes on and display that on two 7-segment displays. To accomplish this you will need to write a code that will increment the least significant digit and every time it reaches the number 9 you reset it and increment the most significant digit. Write a Verilog code to implement the two digit BCD counter as shown in Figure 1.
  3. Write a Verilog code to implement the entire circuit as shown in Figure 1. Use one of the LEDs on your board.
