    How can this be an estimation, and how is it so wrong? Doesn’t the program just have a hard-coded length? Or does the time vary based on clothing weight or something? This seems so utterly strange to me.

      I assume it weighs it at the start and knows it’s dry when it weighs the same again.

      It doesn’t know what the material is. Some dry quicker than others.
