Machine A extends the "hellooo" out to exactly 1.32 seconds, with a 1.32 second pause between that and the next word.

Machine B responds with a greeting exactly 1.32 seconds long, with a 1.32 second pause after it.

Machine A responds with a sentence in which the first word is exactly 1.32 seconds long.

Machine B considers the handshake a success and proceeds in machine language.
