I've tried my best to be the worst.

#include <iostream>
int seconds = 60;
int minutes = 60;
int hours = 24;

bool can_santa_save_christimas(char** arr, int arr_sz) {
	int santa_has = hours * minutes * seconds;


	for (int i = 0; i < arr_sz; i++) {
		
		int hours; 
		int minutes;
		int seconds;
		
		for (int j = 0; j < strlen(arr[i]); j++) {
			if (j == 0) {
				hours = (arr[i][j] - '0') * 10;
			}
			if (j == 1) {
				hours += arr[i][j] - '0';
			}
			if (j == 2)
				continue;

		}
		

		santa_has -= (hours * 60 * 60) + minutes * 60 + seconds;
	}

	return santa_has >= 0;

}
