There’s a range in there where lower numbers can be longer times than higher ones. For instance, 111 is less time than 99, since it gets interpreted as 1:11, or 71.
It’s as entered on a microwave. Any one with digital time entry I’ve seen have 2 digits as seconds and then the most significant ones beyond 2 become minutes.
Mine doesn’t have that button, but I exercise a similar strategy.
Need 1 minute? Too many buttons. 111 will be fine.
5 minutes? No. 444. Close enough.
10 minutes is 999 of course.
Etc.
8:88 is closer to 10 minutes than 9:99
66 is better for 1 minute
55 is a second closer than 66
True, but on my underpowered 600w oven, 66 is perfect
Are those seconds? As in is 100 = one minute or 100 seconds? Because
111sec ~= 2min
444sec ~= 7 1/2 min
999sec ~= 16 1/2 min
