No, I failed to comprehend it.

Even so, I'd suggest that it's more or less infeasible to determine how 
long a calculation takes.

Either way, this would be *so much* easier if I could ask for absolute 
rather than relative start times...

(I also love the way the internal implementation look like it's likely 
to fail if you call threadDelay just before midnight... That's a nice 
touch.)
