Interesting that they say the outage lasted 100 minutes instead of 1 hour 40 minutes which to me sounds worse.

I'd much rather something be down 100 minutes instead of 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Hours are longer than minutes. Fifty is larger than Forty, which is why $49.99 seems so much cheaper than $50.

But that's the spin, and I suspect you're querying the preference. And you're right - whether something was down for 100 minutes or 1 Hour and 40 minutes wouldn't make much difference to my life.
