Question Average completion time calculation?

I've been trying all night to come up with a script that will take a file that contains job completion times like this as input:

18:30
17:45
16:39
18:01
17:50
...

and figure the Average completion time. I've tried several things, and I just can't seem to get it to figure correctly. I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, as I would assume that I'm not the first person that would require info like this, but for now, it's beyond me.

Also, one potential problem that I haven't even tried to tackle yet is what happens when the jobs finishes at say, 23:40 one night, and then at 00:15 the next night. The method I've been trying to perfect will return something like 11:45 as the average (pretty much 12 hours off).

atrm(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   atrm(1)

NAME
atrm - Removes jobs spooled by at SYNOPSIS
atrm [-a] [-f | -i] [job_number...] | [user...] The atrm command removes jobs that were created with the at command. OPTIONS
Removes all jobs belonging to the person invoking atrm. If invoked by a privileged user, all jobs on the queue are removed. Suppresses the printing of all information about the jobs being removed. Prompts before a job is removed; a response of y, or the locale's equivalent of y, causes the job to be removed. Obsolete version of -a. DESCRIPTION
If one or more job numbers is specified, atrm attempts to remove only those jobs. If one or more usernames is specified, all jobs belonging to those users are removed. This form of invoking atrm is useful only if you have superuser authority. EXAMPLES
To remove job number 62169200.a, created by user chinn, from the queue created by the at command, enter: atrm chinn.62169200.a Note that specifies an at job for sh. (.f specifies an at job for csh, and specifies an at job for ksh.) FILES
Main cron directory. List of allowed users. List of denied users. Spool area. Queue description file for at, batch, and cron. SEE ALSO
Commands: at(1), atq(1), cron(8) Files: queuedefs(4) atrm(1)
