Problem

Baryons Software Solutions represents elapsed time with objects containing hours and minutes. Implement a function that adds two such time objects and returns the normalized result.

Minutes must be in the range 0 through 59 in the returned object. If the combined minutes reach 60 or more, convert the excess into hours. The result represents a duration, so hours must not wrap at 24.

Formal Specification

Implement add_times(time1, time2). Each input is a dictionary with two integer fields: hours and minutes. Return a dictionary with the same fields. The input objects are not modified.

Constraints

Both inputs are dictionaries containing integer fields named hours and minutes.
0 <= time1.hours, time2.hours <= 23.
0 <= time1.minutes, time2.minutes <= 59.
The result is an elapsed duration and does not wrap hours at 24.
Neither input dictionary may be modified.
