For at least the third time now, RtS: This does NOT work the way you think it does.

It does *not* test to see if the value of the switch variable is equal to 60 or 61 or ... or 69.

Instead, it compares the value of the switch variable to the bitwise logical conjunction 60 ||
61 || 62 || ... || 69 which necessarily is a true value -- thus any non-zero value of the switch
variable will match.

The same issue naturally affects the other two 'case' statements which you have also
coded incorrectly.

It would also behoove you to read about, and understand, the use of the 'break' command
inside 'switch'.
