Are those seconds? As in is 100 = one minute or 100 seconds? Because

111sec ~= 2min

444sec ~= 7 1/2 min

999sec ~= 16 1/2 min

There’s a range in there where lower numbers can be longer times than higher ones. For instance, 111 is less time than 99, since it gets interpreted as 1:11, or 71.

It's as entered on a microwave. Any one with digital time entry I've seen have 2 digits as seconds and then the most significant ones beyond 2 become minutes.
