You are a nasa engineer who needs to monitor the situation every time a probe uses its thrusters. For a given day you are given the planned times when the thruster will be used. You need to be monitoring the situation at those boost times and for 5 minutes after. You want to figure out if you can take a break for a certain number of minutes. To achieve this you are given the planned boost times in in hours and minutes with an am/pm. And you are given a desired break time in minutes. Output if you can take the break or not given the monitoring you have to do. For example: If you know the thruster is fired at 5:00am and 12:50pm. You need to be monitoring the situation from 5:00am to 5:05am and again from 12:50pm to 12:55pm. Apart from those times you are free to take a break. So a 5 minute break is possible. But a 12 hour break is not possible.
