The National Crochet Pattern Competition (NCPC) is an annual team-based event for crocheters of all skill levels, from beginner to expert. Teams design, write, and crochet original patterns within a time limit, which can range from minutes to a full week depending on the complexity---sometimes spanning weekends. Contestants may take breaks to eat, sleep, or go home, but the timer continues running.
NCPC has asked you to develop a system that calculates the total competition duration from the start and end times, provided with weekday, hour, and minute. The reported duration should be precise, correctly expressed in days, hours, and minutes, using as few components as necessary while minimizing the sum of the integer values.
