- equation written backward, "=" doesn't coincide with ":" --> add 10 to output (e.g., 3:26, 6=2*3)

- equation written backward, "=" does coincide with ":" --> add 1000 to output (e.g., 4:28, 8/2=4)

Note that some of these combinations are tied to each other due to the commutative nature of + and * and the inverse relation of +,- and **,/. The output should be a 4x2 matrix with 0s or 1s in the first column dependent on whether each operation (+,-,*,/) is applicable to a given time and the totals in the second column. Examples include:

4:22 | out = [1 1100; 1 1; 1 1100; 1 1]; since 4=2+2, 2+2=4; 4-2=2; 4=2*2, 2*2=4; 4/2=2.

5:15 | out = [0 0; 0 0; 1 1111; 1 1001]; since 5*1=5, 5=1*5, 5*1=5, 5=1*5; 5/1=5, 5/1=5.
