Instructions unclear #401

Description

@Zclegg

For the first two python exercises (Hello World and Leap), it is pretty obvious what is supposed to happen. Hello World takes a string as an input, does some stuff, and returns another string. Leap has a number as an input and returns either True or False.

The instructions for Clock are

Implement a clock that handles times without dates.
Create a clock that is independent of date.
You should be able to add and subtract minutes to it.
Two clocks that represent the same time should be equal to each other.

which doesn't make much sense to a newbie like me.

What is a valid input? 20 s? 3:20 pm? half past noon?

Once we have the input, we need to be able to "add and subtract minutes to it".

What are we supposed to return? 1 m 20 s? 3:21 pm? half past noon and one minute?

Considering almost no participants in the activity streams seem to go past leap, I do not think I am the only one having this problem.
