@SmartmanApps@dotnet.social I've been thinking we should switch to base 12 TBH. Base 10 is awkward and only divides easily into 2 and 5, whereas base 12 would give us 2, 3, 4 and 6! And it's interesting we divide our year and days into 12 already.

@dm319@fosstodon.org Well yeah, that's what we started out with, because more factors. Not sure if you realised, but we have 360 degrees in a circle because NEARLY 365 (like in days per year) BUT has a lot more factors than 365 (because 360 is a multiple of both 12 and 10).
