I have a silly table I am planning to use to teach myself a little bit
about R; it contains durations measured in minutes and seconds:

#+TBLFM: $2=vmean(@2..@-1);T::$3=vmean(@2..@-1);T::$4=vmean($2..$-1);T

I have a bunch of questions but will start with what is maybe the most
basic: can I write durations in minutes and seconds only? the extra 00: is
sort of annoying to type when I am tired.

Later I'll want to think about the best way to turn this data into a plot
of fastest, slowest, and mean times day-to-day. But not tonight, I'm beat!
Thanks,
Matt
