Do you need your calculations to go past midnight?  I have done some 
simple routines to calculate elapsed time (swim meet scoring, 
incident duration for emergencies), but always had a bump in the road 
when things went into the next day (not a swim meet issue).  It was 
never enough of an issue to worry about the "over midnight" events.
