Corn needs 1m in boiling water. Not 20.

I don't think it needs a whole meter... Maybe 10cm of water at most

Minutes, wise guy. Who measures water in meters? Liters, maybe

TBH the best corn on the cob I've had the pleasure to encounter was fire grilled {in husk, resheathed after silk removed}, but the standard I've known for home grown sweetcorn is ~90s in low boiling water. Any longer makes it dull and unnecessarily mushy.
