The hypothetical debate

So I wanna get some of your opinions.

Lets hypothetically say there is an imaginary betting pool (with no monies exchanged) betting on a hypothetical exact time that a certain individual shows up to work. If the imaginary individual showed up at lets say 9:05 and imaginary coworker #1 estimated an arrival time of 9:03 and imaginary coworker #2 estimated 9:06, who would you declare the winner?

This imaginary betting pool of people were split. On one hand, most went with the Bob Barker rule of order, such as with the Price of Right's showcase showdown. If you guessed $1 over, you lost despite the opponent betting 12 grand under. The other half argued that imaginary coworker #2 was closer though. However, what if the time was 9:05 and one person guessed 9:04 and one guessed 9:06.......
Please help solve this hypothetical debate.......

Closest without going over, definitely.

In this particular case, 9:03 and 9:06 bets, I'd go with closest despite being over, especially if that particular caveat wasn't declared to be part of the pool rules. If it was 9:04 and 9:06, then the closest without being over would have to win.

I would say the person closest to the time wins, in your case, closest without going over seems to apply.
