Lep Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Have you ever noticed, that when you put 60 seconds, it equals 1 minute, but when you put 100 seconds, it skips to 60 seconds instead of counting down from 99? Just thought I'd warn you all of this conspiracy :shock: :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintmangbpack Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 its because when you use a 1 followed by 2 zeros it assumes you mean 1 minute not 100 seconds, if you want 100 seconds just enter 1:40. Not really a conspiracy just common sense. Your true character is what you are like when you believe there are no repercussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintmangbpack Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I agree that the USA's meausuring system is really poorly organized. But if you have grown up knowing that 60 seconds is 1 minute, it really shouldn't be that hard to realize. For a microwave which is used primarily for minutes times wouldn't it make more sense for minutes to be used as the primary measurement not the seconds. Your true character is what you are like when you believe there are no repercussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjbj1991 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Wasn't it the Babolonians (sp) who invented our current method of mesuring time? I think it was because they had a 60 digit numerical system (most people use 10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icingdeath Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Every night, when I think about typing in 100 and my microwave only going for one minute, I cry myself to sleep. :( True story. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways.

I think you two will find that america didn't invent the Gregorian calendar & time system OR the imperial measurements system. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

bjbj1991 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Do you get 99 seconds when you enter 99 on a microwave or 59? 61 is 39 less than 100 and if 100 = 60 should you get 21 seconds? I need to try all of these combonations soon, THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
