Add two video lengths

Python Advanced astronaut ages teen+ From CS Unplugged

The problem

Video lengths are written "hours:minutes:seconds", like "0:32:21". Write a function add_durations(a, b) that adds two lengths and gives back the total in the same form, with no extra zeros. Example: "0:32:21" + "0:33:20" is "1:5:41".

You will practice: splitting text, remainder (%), whole-number division, units of time
