And the one left over will point out that he asked how to do this the  
FP way, not the imperative way?

If it was me btw, I'd take a stab at the problem being that each time  
we do something a time gets updated and we want to know how much time  
has passed since we last did "something".

I'd approach this by generating a lazy list of times at which we  
started doing "something", and then generating a lazy list of time  
differences.
