What's the wizardry /g/?"

No. Just no.
Why not? Hitting 6-0 is faster than pressing 1-0-0. Although I just hit the +30 seconds twice so it doesn't matter.
Because no clock ever should show 00:60. Whatever you enter, 01:00 should be displayed.
Well, it's 59:60 but close enough.
60 seconds can have a totally different meaning from 1 minute. First, there are leap seconds, which cause a minute to have 61 (or more rarely, 59) seconds. Second, 1 minute conveys a different amount of accuracy than 60 seconds does. Just like you don’t measure house sizes in micrometers and the width of a hair in meters.
There's been 27 leap seconds since 1972. That's not going to make a big difference in how my microwave heats my food.
