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.

That's actually a very smart way to do that. Couldn't have thought of that
