How does pushing 10 on a microwave make ANY sense? It's soooo much easier to just push 9 or 11. Why 45? Your finger is already on the 4 so just go with 44!! It makes sense. It DOESN'T make any sense to purposely make it be a multiple of 5.
On an alarm clock, strange numbers help you wake up quicker as it's confuses you in your half-awake state, it tricks you into having to think about what time it is. Think about it, if you wake up and your clock reads 6:38, you'd have to actually wake up and read all the numbers vs if the clock reads 6:40, that does nothing to wake up your mind. It's just a little trick that really works.
IIN that I get annoyed by weird numbers on volume and microwave?
