For each end user included in the report, the number of seconds from the log is dropped, and each unique minute
within a given hour counts as one minute.
In the following example, the end user shows a total of seven minutes of Wall Clock Time:

12:00:10 www.abc.com
12:01:00 www.8e6.com
12:02:04 www.whitepages.com
12:05:58 www.yellowpages.com

12:09:03 www.abc.com
12:09:04 www.nbc.com
The total for this end user is based on a nine-minute time span that includes 17 entries in the log, and seven unique minute entries: 00, 01, 02, 05, 07, 08, and 09. Based on the Wall Clock Time algorithm. This algorithm calculates the amount of time an end user spent accessing a given page or object disregarding the number of seconds from each hit and counting each unique minute of Web time as one minute. Using this algorithm, an end user could never have more than 24 hours of Web time within a given 24-hour period.
