Calculation method
Calculation method
Track schedule
Preserve input order within each track; each track starts at the supplied start, with a break between its consecutive sessions.
Programme finish
Latest session finish across tracks, including a day marker if needed.
Elapsed programme (minutes)
Latest finish − programme start; no break is added after the final session.
Presenter clashes
Flag overlapping half-open session intervals for an identical presenter name; use a dash to mark no presenter.
Symbols and units
- a
- Sessions: name, track, minutes, presenter; one per line
- b
- Programme start (HH:MM)
- c
- Break between sessions on each track (minutes)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Parallel tracks start together, with fixed per-track session order. Presenter conflicts are reported rather than resolved automatically. Times are local clock arithmetic without timezone/DST inference; table names cannot contain commas.
