How long can an unranked game possibly be?

I did some calculations and found out that the maximum length an unranked game can possibly go is 68.75 minutes. This can be achieved through cooperation with the enemy team. To do this the attacker's team needs to be ready with the spike on the site. It takes exactly 4 seconds to plant the spike, so they need to plant it exactly in the last 4 seconds before the round timer ends. They can't be even a millisecond earlier. Once done successfully just chill and wait for the spike to explode. If both teams are cooperating this should become hella easier. Now do the same thing every round until the team switch. After the team switch, whichever team becomes the attackers should now do the same thing. Keep doing this until the score is 12-12. Do the same in the last round and you will have the maximum length game possible. Keep in mind that if u mess up even once, you will have to do the whole thing over. Please don't waste your time trying this out, it's totally useless and I just did these calculations for the sake of curiosity and had nothing better to do

Edit: I'm counting from the point where u first spawn in the game to the point where the victory/defeat end screen appears. I'm even counting the buy phase and the 5-second phase after the round ends as it is part of the game.
