You can devide it in both 2 and 5
Naw dog the Babylonians had a base 36 counting system.
Countries using imperial
actually I sometimes wonder if math would have been easier if Humans had 8 fingers and octal numbering
sorry, base 60
Octal numbering
C e a s e
Seems like a better number actually
16 would probably be the best
Works great with computers too
hex works well for computers, but either hex or octal would work better with binary and make comprehending computers easier
Or we could be civilized and do things in tens so we don't need to rewrite every single position-based mathematical formulae to include a conversion from hexadecimal to decimal and back
Yeah. Though we couldn't have predicted that
Also metric
Like civilised people
Imagine meeting aliens with number systems based on 8 or 12 or whatever. I bet it would match their number of fingers
@Ruggwain Not saying we should change it, but it probably would have been better if we started with hex
Maybe
But oof
Would definitely make things more complicated
yea the conversion would suck, but hex numbering could have a lot of advantages
It would make big numbers a lot weirder to display
Also multiplication
metric is for people who are too stupid to convert numbers
I like how there's people from all around the world here so it's like always nighttime here :3
@Deleted User which is why everyone except America, Liberia and Myanmar are using it?
Myanmar high IQ country confirmed?
@Ruggwain smarter than roaches
@Ruggwain If we started with hex we wouldn't have number like "4GD54". We would just have 16 different math symbols
And we would be used to it
So why would big numbers be harder to display?
The absence of E
Absence of E?

with world IQ dropping and schools using common core, I don't see any improvements in mathematics coming anytime soon
