How on earth do you 'measure' this impossible one?

We clarify TKM rule C3.4.28 concerning piston rings as follows with new detail highlighted:

C3.4.28 Piston rings must at all times remain predominately free (50% or more) to operate in the manner in which they were designed and supplied. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the rings are not ‘coked’ in place with carbon or prevented from their normal ‘spring’ effect by other methods. The rings must be appropriate to the piston size used and have a maximum ring gap of 0.5mm when measured with the ring placed squarely 5-10mm down from the top of the cylinder bore.

Sticky rings behave differently when hot or cold, so would they attempt to 'measure' at a certain temperature?

Just curious, nothing sinister.
