    Yeah my microwave lets me put 99 seconds in, and that’s the highest I will go. In fact, I only put multiples of 11 in, because it’s the quickest, just bing-bang-start.

    On the rare occasion I’m microwaving something that requires, say, 5 minutes, it gets 444 and we hope for the best.

      Let me fix your math. I assume you have a keypad and enter repeat digits as the quickest method.

      1. 5 minutes is 300 seconds, so 333 would be way closer than 444.
      2. 444 is not a multiple of 11.

        Don’t be nitpicky it’s annoying, you got the point. We’re making jokes about microwaves here.

        EDIT: And to add, it lets you do a max of 99 seconds, but the didgits are 00:00, so you either do 99s or 1:39. So 4:44 is 4m44s.
