chess: (trivial (Surveys/webtests/amusing junk))
[livejournal.com profile] passage (and anyone else who occasionally rants about the decimal system): http://www.dsgb.orbix.co.uk/

I should write a real entry sometime, but for some reason I really don't have the energy. There are a whole bunch of things I really ought to have written up, and I've put it off for so long I've forgotten about them, which makes me rather demoralised and unlikely to write anything else up. Plus, I keep thinking that I desperately need to write some stories again, but I keep getting busy and uncoordinated. Never mind.

12 has more divisors than 16 (2,3,4,6 against 2,4,8), and they're more useful ones.

Also, many of us have been counting in 12s, 14s, 16s and 20s for years, so...

Counting stuff in silly bases is fun (especially when you count the same thing twice and do it in different bases and *then* check if you got the same...) but not 'rithmatic... thing is, I only got 10 fingers.
