Daily Puzzler

[Joes Place]

I'm at work, performing a common daily operation that requires numeric input.
I've learned from past tries that:

• 50 is not enough
• 100 is still not enough
• 150 is definitely too much
• 90 is perfect

What am I doing?

 

[QChawks]

I'll regret this but....

How is 100 "still not enough" but 90 is "perfect"?

When you input "1-0-0" on most microwaves, it nukes for 60 seconds.

I'm sure Joe has a special scientific, single unit entry, microwave...

When I want 90 seconds of microwaving action, I push the #1 and the add 30 second button. Perfect.

Extra button press
Suboptimal.

Damn Wendy is smart.

Here is how dumb I am. Not only did I not get Joes puzzle. When Wendy said waving I pictured below. And was thinking about arm angles..like a 90 degree angle. It wasn't until I read more. Seriously. I dumb.
