Because 2:00 = 1:60
Or are we going to implement metric time?
The French tried to, briefly.
I get the 2:00, but shouldn't it be 120? Or am I dumber than I thought? 60+60 still = 120, right?
1:60 = one minute and 60 seconds, or two minutes.
120 would be parsed as one minute and 20 seconds, or 80 seconds.
Took me a bit to get too.
You can also punch in 90 to get 1:30. I may have been extra lazy a few times to learn that.
It's not really lazy until you're putting in "88" to save a keystroke and extra finger movement.
It's not 160 (seconds) it's 1 (minutes) **:**60 (seconds). My microwave always keeps the : when I input time.
