minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink20•4 months ago60 is good because you can divide it by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 which is convenient

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•edit-24 months agoCompared to 100 which can only be divided by 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50. Not too bad, but not as good.

idk what you mean, circles are 2π radians
yeah, lets all start counting in base-60
