Propose a new number base to be used by the entire human race and why you chose your choice.

I'll begin: 12
12 is divisible by 2,3,4,and 6, making it much more factorable than 10. No more .333333 (instead we'd have .4, lol) Its proximity to 10 would make it easy to adjust to. Besides, two additional numbers to learn wouldn't be much, either.

So instead 10 base 10 would be 22 in base 12?

[Anonymous No.2853354]

>>2853346

10 in base 12 = 12 in base 10

[Anonymous No.2853357]

>>2853346

I think you mean that 20 in base 12 would be equal to 24.

[Anonymous No.2853361]

I propose 60 because 5 is also a factor. Also people have used base 60 before

[Anonymous No.2853365]

Every base is base 10.

Muhahahahahaha!

[Anonymous No.2853371]

>>2853365
not base 1 (speaking in base 10 right now)

In base 1 its called base 00.

[Anonymous No.2853374]

>>2853361

I agree. 60.

hexadecimal
just 1/3 if you want to have a third

[Anonymous No.2853645]

Base 3. Because why not?

[Anonymous No.2853654]

Base 8 because fuck yeah.

[Anonymous No.2853656]

>>2853346

10 in base 12 would be A.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B

>base 12

[Anonymous No.2853677]

Fuck off, Sidis. You are dead.

[Anonymous No.2853700]

base 16.

[Anonymous No.2853723]

Base 12 reminds me of that new math video I saw.

[Anonymous No.2853832]

base googol

[Anonymous No.2853838]

13 because it's euler totient has lots of divisors

[Anonymous No.2853842]

base 12 is already semi in effect, think about how the teen's start at 13 rather than 11. i remember reading that in the QI book somewhere or something

[Anonymous No.2853913]

It's easier to count on your fingers in base 6.

i do all my counting/calculations in binary ... plus its easy to count in binary on your fingers ... pic related
