Yeah, the left guy's pretty bad. I admire his persistence, though!

They seem to play with a made-up rule set with a handicap: every time the left guy lands a goal, the other guy's score is reset... So left usually starts in the lead, but then quickly loses out again.

I estimate he's behind roughly 89% of the time.

(For a fun exercise, ask Google for that percentage. It's astonishing how wrong the AI answers can get.)

My "AI" response was actually pretty good; It summed up the number of minutes per hour, making only one (glaringly obvious but understandable by some metrics) error:

> Hour 12: The hour (12) is never greater than the minute (0–59), so the time is 0.

Misunderstanding how human clocks work, but right for this clock.

It then doubled that, because there's two 12-hour periods in a day, which was useless but reasonable, and finally divided by 1440 minutes in a day, and got an answer of 9%

Then I asked again, and while it got the same answer, it used totally different "reasoning" that was wrong in a unique way.
