| |
| − | | |
| − | Most common cook times are given in either whole, half, or quarter minute increments; e.g., 2:00 min. or 1:30 min. Meaning that 1,2,3,4,5 and 0 are the most used digits on the microwave, and to use numbers like 6,7,8, or 9, one would have to cook something for that number of minutes. Cueball, however, feels bad for the under used number '9,' so he microwaves his food for one minute fifty-nine seconds instead of two minutes, as a one second difference is negligible.
