    How is the microwave supposed to know that "120" is 120 seconds but
"200" is two minutes?  My experience is that microwaves will interpret
two-digit numbers as seconds and three-digit numbers as minutes and
seconds.  Therefore, "99" is 99 seconds, but "120" is one minute, twenty
seconds.  Am I missing something?
