    Add them all up, and divide by how many you have.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    convert all the times to seconds, then do the math. for example
    06:33:52 = 6 hours, 33 minues and 52 seconds
    6 * 60 * 60 + 33 * 60 + 52

    I think Fibre Optic knows how to do it, but not how to code it.

    Let's see the vector.
