And if you doubt that the conventions we use to describe mathematics could be different...

Then the Dozenal Society is ready to tell you why a base-12 number system is clearly superior to base-10.

I wish I were making that up.

But no.

There's actually an organisation, with periodicals and meetings and podcasts, advocating that the world should drop decimal numbers and move to base-12 numbers.

Just think.

All those times you've tried to divide things by thirds and been left with a recurring 3 in your fraction.

And really, all you had to do was persuade the world to just completely change the numbering system for everything, and thst equation would have been marginally simpler.

I'm not quite sure if this is like Esperanto for mathematicians, or just some nutters with too much time on their not-quite-10 (in base-12) fingered hands.
