Another benefit of base 12 is that you can count to 12 easily with one hand by using your thumb to count each of the 3 segments on your 4 fingers.

I learned that on that other website prior to the great migration and it blew my mind then.

Wait until you find out that binary counting allows you to count to 31 with one hand.

I’m trying to think of a situation where I need to count to 12 on one hand 🤔

This would be useful if I was used to counting with base 12.

Pros scale that up to base 60 by counting to 12 and using the other hand to count how many times they have counted to 12.

Thems rookie numbers. You can get to 144 using the twelve segments on each hand.
