It works out correctly if their hours have 40 minutes each.

WOW I should not be doing mental arithmetic after 3AM.

I think I may have worked out the correct answer earlier, then, at 3AM, forgotten that 28800 was the 16-hour figure instead of the 24-hour figure. The embarrassing part is not just typing the calculation into Google, but who knew?

Oh, well, I've never been all that good at arithmetic (as opposed to math).
