52:05wanted to touch on was as I was watching these games, I noticed something called match momentum. >> Momentum. >> I love data visualization and data analytics. So I got interested in this thing because I was like, how does how does that work? Like how do you know cuz it it it tracked to me visually when I was like, oh, like this team is doing well, the momentum for them was up. But as an analytics guy, you start asking like, okay, how do you actually calculate that? Cuz there's some there's some there's not some guy being like, oh, I judge the momentum to be this now. There's some automated algorithm that is doing it, right? And so what is that algorithm? I couldn't find much on it, but I found a few things. First thing
