I do not know if this will work for you but give it a try :
Under Format, Cell, click on the Number tab and select Time
When entering minutes and seconds they shoudl read 0:1:40 for 1 minute forty
seconds.

Good luck.

First of all, use the correct number format. You probably need
[h]:mm:ss, which will enable you to have a sum of over 24 hours. Go
to Format-Cells-Number-Custom, and paste that format code.

The "crazy" answer you're getting is Excel's internal representation
of the number. Again, using a time value number format fixes this
problem.
