How would you enunciate this time? "Train Agent 1:00"

I'm not sure if I made a similar thread in the past, but I was interested in this when Clemens said "one oh oh" on stream earlier. I've also heard him say "one hundred" (e.g. on his infamous Frigate SA 1:00 bomb defuser fail), but both of these sound very strange to me. I've always said "one minute" in these cases.

How do you enunciate these?

"One oh oh" makes me cringe the cringiest of cringes.

For a game based on 007 I feel an obvious choice is missing.

I also would've gone with "one double oh" if that was an option.

Looking at the current 30 votes, "one oh oh" seems to be a european thing.

I'd say 1 minute dead, like on a cheque where you (used to) write X pounds only.
Especially as it's a respectable time.

definitely "train agent one hundred"

i am so glad nobody as of yet has voted - Train Agent "one hundo"

hundo is still the most cringe term in speedrunning

Hehe I use hundo in score attack but just doesn't make sense in speedrunning.
Changing my vote to "one hundred" because I caught myself saying three hundred for a time I got in PD.
