    so did they assume a colon was I between those? like this 1:20 instead of 120?

    if not, the microwave probably either has a bad display, is is badly programmed… or im missing something.

      It’s just the way microwaves are programmed. Same reason 99 cooks longer than 100. It interprets a 100, 200, etc as minutes. I think most microwaves handle anything over 100 as minute + seconds, treating it like it had a : in there.
