TYPICAL FORMULA IN CASE HANDLING

Hi Guys can anyone please help(explain) me the following formula. As I have very basic knowledge, it is hard to me understand the formula. We are using this formula in case management system. Here FLAGS__ViewedFlag__c is Date/Time field(object type). Please explain me how it works.

Thanks in advance.

IF(VALUE(TRIM(LEFT(TRIM(RIGHT(TEXT(FLAGS__ViewedFlag__c),9)),2)))>=22,
'00',
IF(VALUE(TRIM(LEFT(TRIM(RIGHT(TEXT(FLAGS__ViewedFlag__c),9)),2)))<13,
'00',
TRIM(RIGHT(TRIM(LEFT(TEXT(FLAGS__ViewedFlag__c),16)),2))))),8,
':00')))

Not perfectly, but the formula is taking the "hour" value of the date/time field, and outputting time as 13:00 for anytime between 6:00 and 13:00 hours, and as 22:00 for anytime between 23:00 and 5:00.
