Have they ever had task lengths be odd times (other than 6 or 45 seconds)?

At least during quest lines why doesn't the game sometimes have tasks that have odd lengths instead of the standard 4 hours, 8 hours, etc?

Cliché example: Have an Otto task that lasts for 4 hours and 20 minutes.

Or give someone a 5 hour and 55 minute task. Or 3 hours and 45 minutes. Or a casino task for 777 seconds. Etc.

I just want to see some zany times listed instead of the time time periods all the time. Break up the monotony.

Miss Springfield, Enjoy an Evening with the Mayor - 3 minutes.

All of the SH tasks are whacky lengths.

Devil Ned should have a task that lasts 666 seconds or minutes.

A few spring to mind - Lard lads tasks 5 minutes, Hibbert Family Practice tasks 10 minutes, a lot of 3 hour tasks...

Nobody at EA thought of that!

Pure speculation on my part but I suspect that it's done for simplicity purposes as they have a general template for characters/decorations/buildings and start from that making modifications to it until they arrive at what they require and the fewest changes means lesser chance of it going wrong.

I got Apu on this constantly so I can use the Dancing KEM for premium 4 hour tasks still.

It's kinda funny, but it's still exactly 7 days, so more of the same.
