Well, since its hockey, you know that there are 20 minutes in a period, so
any numbers greater than 20 (ie 36) are going to be seconds (00:36) but two
digit numbers 20 or less are going to be an area that needs more definition.
Is 18 supposed to be 18:00 or 00:18?  I think that needs to get solved
before tackling any other parts of the problem.
