    My microwave doesn’t have buttons. Can someone see if 199 is three minutes and 19 seconds, or 159 seconds?

        Is 179 the same? Or anything over 159?

          Basically the smaller two digits always count as seconds and when they hit zero, it subtracts 1 from the larger two digits and carries 60 seconds over.

      I was like “are people that dumb that they’ll type in 100 seconds and the microwave just changes it to a minute instead”

      But then I realized I was the idiot.

    You see, it’s because two digit numbers follow newtonian physics while three digit numbers follow quantum physics

      Typing 666 could do it as well depending on what you have in the microwave
