count

I'm using an application that gives a timed output based on how many times something is done in a minute, and I wish to manually take the output (copy paste) and have my program, and I wish to count how many times each minute it is done.

An example output is this:

13:48 An event happened.
13:48 Another event happened.
13:49 A new event happened.
13:49 A random event happened.
13:49 An event happened.

So, the program would need to understand that 2 things happened at 13:48, and 3 at 13:49. I'm not sure how the information would be stored, but I need to average them after, to determine an average of how often it happens. Sorry for being so complicated!
