Reply To: 2 is better than 1

that is why Babylonians used 60 – it is divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,30 , much better than 10….
too bad the digital generation does not understand “a quarter to 5” any more.
I once told someone the time “5 to 9”. I could have as well said “9:00”, as the person took those 5 minutes to process the response.
