    This is a bit of a random question, but the answer ha sbeen bugging me for a long time. Ok so...

    On a microwave, if you push 60, then it will cook for 60 seconds or one minute. (Following me?)
    AND if you also press 1:00 it will cook for one minute, or 60 seconds. (Right, right?)
    OK! Well, my question is....
    If you add 1:00 + 1:00 it is = 2:00 right? So your food will cook for a total of two minutes.
    BUT if you add 60 seconds + 60 seconds it will only cook for one minute and twenty seconds. Even though 60 seconds is one minute?
    (I know, confusing question.)

    I guess to put it into simpliest terms, How come 1 minute + 1 minute = 2 minutes, but 60 seconds + 60 seconds = only one minute and twenty seconds?

    Because it jumps from 1:00 to 0:59. As far as microwaves are concerned, unless you type in 0:99 manually before it starts cooking your food, 0:60 through 0:99 don't exist since there aren't more than 60 seconds in a minute.

    If there were 99 seconds in a minute it would go 1:00, 0:99, 0:98 instead. But there isn't so it doesn't.

    Since, you know, to the left of the colon is minutes and the right of it is seconds.

    They're stubborn like that, man. They make you learn minutes and seconds on their system, not ours.

    Also albeit this being a shitpost subforum AND you being a renowned shitposter I couldn't decide if this was genuine or not lol.

    Plus I wanted to steal the first answer to this from kland.

    guess to put it into simpliest terms, How come 1 minute + 1 minute = 2 minutes, but 60 seconds + 60 seconds = only one minute and twenty seconds?

    let me explan this you're an idiot for one you're mixing up your bases, you're allowing 60+60 to be 120 seconds which isn't the same as 1:20 1:20 is 80 seconds in this base every 60 you go up to the next 1 not the next 100.


    for example in base 6

    3+3=10 which is true, and therefore 6+6=20 as 6 is equivlent to 10, also in this base 6+2=12


    however in base 10

    3+3=6 which is also true, and in this base 6+6=12 not 20,



    can we change my forums picture to say educating shit kids since 2k11

    I'm extremely concerned about your use of the character "6" when working in base six. I had to get a paper bag to breath in I was so horrified.

    As to the original question: when you press one minute on a microwave it actually just rotates your food through 1/60th of a degree.
