I don't think you can even input :60 except as in 2 presses of [+30 seconds]
Had a friend who got a microwave that instead of a numpad it had a dial like a volume knob. It was so irritating for some reason to twist it and then have to turn it the opposite way to correct it. Like you wanted 45 seconds and you'd twist and it's be at 1:30, youd scroll back, 35... 50, fuck it good enough. I just would twist it to a number and then stop it 45 seconds in after I realized it was that way
Every microwave I've ever lived with has had a knob to input time. Maybe this is a regional thing?
My old one was completely analog and just had dials for time and power and a single button to open the door. Truly an efficient interface!
Older (and cheaper) ones have an analogue dial. More modern ones have a digital timer.
Huh, all of mine since I was a kid have taken numbers up to 99 in seconds. Gotta admit I've never tried x60-x99
I regularly use 55 or 66 instead of just hitting start 2x which does the 30 second thing because it's so ingrained.
And 44 seconds is known as an Obama, 33 a Truman, 22 a Cleveland, and 11 a Polk.
Pressing more than one number is sacrilege. and 45 is treasonous.

This should be codified
What? Of course you can... At least on every microwave I've ever had.
