[....] It is formatted as: CUSTOM [h]:mm:ss.
However, when you click on the cell, what you see in the formula line is
1/1/1900 5:58:00 PM

Time is stored as days since 1/1/1900, which explains the "funny" form
that you see in the fx (formula) field.


Poorly phrased. I meant to say that time is __interpreted__ as days
since 1/1/1900, just like a date serial numbers. But as I explained
further....

You can see the true form by
formatting as Number. So 41:58:00 is approximately the number 1.7486.


That is, time is __stored__ in days and fractional parts thereof.
