Obvious joke, I thought it was quite good actually.

I know what you mean kerplunk,

My microwave is the same, its got a keypad that I type in to and behaves like this , if i type:

40, it will cook for 40 seconds
60, 60 seconds / 1 minute

therefore you'd assume that typing 120 would equal 120 seconds / 2 minutes but the microwave converts the 120 into time in minutes and seconds, giving me 1 minute 20 seconds. Obviously not all microwaves work like this which might explain why so many people think you don't know that there are 120 seconds in 2 minutes.

I was waiting for a punch line.

The OP should be punched in the face.

Its all in the explanation

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?

He doesnt say if he inputs 120 in to microwave.

I_M_Weasel · 30 Mar 2011 at 19:19

Does his microwave allow him to add time to a pre-existing programme?

I assume he's doing the maths in his head before he starts, something like? "cook one egg for 60 seconds, double the time for 2", ok 60x2=120 thats what I'll enter into the microwave (eggs undercook by 40 seconds)

It can cause slight confusion that, to a standard microwave oven, 1:30 and :90 are the same thing. This is obviously only true for times of up to 1:39, or 99 seconds.

The door microswitch failed on our 15 year old Sanyo microwave, and it meant you could open the door and it would continue cooking food/you/whatever was near the door.

What is it about the internet that makes people stupid?

If you are really strong, you can grab hold of your own head and lift yourself off the ground for a while.

er, I imagine.

Neighbours cat?

Just need a way to focus the beam and you'll have a mean lean long distance microwaving machine. - Uses include cooking, de-icing, and murder.

If I have 12 donuts and add another 12 donuts, I've got 24 donuts right? Following me?

But, if I had a dozen donuts and I add another dozen donuts I get two dozen donuts. Still following?

But if I add 12 donuts to a dozen donuts, do I have 24 donuts or two dozen donuts?
