You need to elaborate on your logic some more, and state exactly what you
would want in the A,B,C case above. Does B get lumped with A or with C?
It is within 24 hours of both, after all. Does C not get lumped in with
B simply because B has already been lumped in with A?

Perhaps showing us the sample output of an ideal query would be best,
along with some sample rows (e.g. use real insert statements)
