    Fuck your decimal system. Dozenal is the most intuitive number system. Arithmetic is so much easier to learn in dozenal and you can even count higher on your hands if you use phalanges instead of fingers. Base 10 is a crap number system. It’s barely composite, it only has two prime factors.

      Use binary. You can count super high on your fingers, arithmetic is as easy as it gets. Binary is the best number system.

        Nah, readability is low and you can’t divide by three OR five easily. Binary has even fewer prime factors than decimal.
