If ask for 299 seconds surely I should get 300 not 240 ?
(Whether to round off or round up is an interesting question for the
middle range - does it go off early or late - I'd have said late but...)

This is my preference:
	if (t > 255)
		t = (((t - 1) / 60) + 1) * 60;


In case I am missing something: Why not just use DIV_ROUND_UP() ?

Thanks,
Guenter
