Okay, so I just watched a video on YouTube about a group of Americans that are celebrating the new century. The reason they are celebrating is because they believe that the world would be a better place if we were to use base 12, as opposed to base 10. You can watch the video and decide for yourself.
Anyway, in base 12, we just hit the year 1200. That’s pronounced “One Dozen Two Gross”, for those of you new to base 12.
The whole reason I bring this up now is because I have a VERY big problem with base 12, and it has nothing to do with the logistics of converting from decimal, or the strengths of base 10 vs. base 12. It actually has to do with phalanges. Specifically, MY phalanges.
But enough words. Let my hand explain the rest.
