I'm sorry for the ambiguity in the initial example! The behavior doesn't 'change' per say, and the initial statement is still true, but the example didn't reflect all of the possible examples. For example, if two windows have an overlapping period, it is possible for the smaller duration one to have a lower value. This would result in 3 separate listed windows, a piece of the longer, the shorter, then the longer again. Words are difficult to describe it, so:

Example 1:
Window 1: 66666666666666666666666666
Window 2:           111111
Result would be:
Window 3: 66666111111666666666666666

And at any point within those window could be a 24 hour daybreak, so if there was a day break directly in the middle of the 1's, the final window would be:

66666   111   111   666666666666666

Sorry if the spaces don't line up properly ... it's my ghetto & nbsp at work. Also, thank you again for all of the help and understanding!

I forgot to explicitly say option 2!
