(Interrogation is a bit strong a word for chousa in this context, there's no interrogating going on, and it can also be translated to survey)

A timed survey only cares about the amount of time that has passed since the survey request was accepted - and that at least one response was collected in the interim.  In other words, if a timed survey has a 2 hour time constraint, the DS does ''not'' need to be on for 2 whole hours, nor does the corresponding survey even need to be selected for the whole time.  Absolutely all that matters in completing a timed survey is that the requisite time has passed and that at least one response was collected since the request was accepted.

Timed surveys are sensitive to the DS's clock, however. If the player adjusts their DS's time or switches the DS they were playing the game on in the middle of a timed survey, its timer will be reset when the player saves the game again. Only the timer is reset, though; any previously collected results for the timed survey remain valid. So if a player changes their DS and saves their game in the middle of a timed survey they had already collected a result for, they would not need to collect a new result, they would only need to wait the required time to be able to succesfully report the results for the survey.
