How many seconds are there in a minute? if your answer is 60, then that`s wrong. You need deep calculations here.

ZERO!
All letters in the word "minute" are unique. There are no "seconds"!

The smallest theoretically mesurable interval of time is the Planck time, which is 5.391e-44 seconds (cf. physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?plkt).
The number of distinguishable seconds in a minute should be 59 / (Planck time) = 1.094e+45.

I was going to say Infinite but harvey's reply seems to be more accurate.

60 + twenty-second + thirty-second + forty-second + fifty-second = 60 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 = 200 seconds

there are no seconds for a minute. After the minute is over, it's gone. Now it's the next minute's turn. It won't get a second turn either.
