as stated in my other comment: I was new to programming languages back then. I did the kata in what was an understandable way for me. But thanks for the constructive feedback, I guess.

What's the point of the first 4 lines of the function? if you do 59//60 (or 23//24 or 364//365), the result is 0 anyway, since it's floor division you're doing.
Also, horrible amount of duplication in your code.

What do you mean by chunks? Chunks variable in his code is a list, which you also used for the same purpose in your code.

I am somewhat new to Python and this is the first 4 kyu kata I am able to solve. Is there any reason why everyone uses "chunks" in their code?
