    I should also reiterate that I wasn't looking for x|y where x=y. Those are the 22 results that I removed, since they weren't ambiguous. I looked for x|y where there was a complimentary y|x

    Yeah, I ended up taking it a step further and moving the minute hand by 1 degree at a time instead of the hour hand. So the matching columns were a looooot longer. I couldn't include it in the post because it was too long.

    Does that allow the other sheriff to make the arrest, though? That was the stumbling block I was having with my second approach.
