There are times in this game where no matter what choice the other player makes, I can get them to 10:45pm meaning that I will win. I've called the critical times 'control points', which is what I want to land on. These times are 7:00pm, 8:15pm and 9:30pm. The interval between the times is 1 hour and 15 minutes which means that any choice of time by the other player can be combined with my own choice to get me in a position to win.

The games involved lots of losses by me before I worked out the winning strategy. This game is great to play with my younger brother who does not yet know the strategy.
