This website explains the duodecimal system. http://www.friesian.com/quanta.htm#twelve
Only the fractions like 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 are easy. But look at the multiplications given in the table (at the bottom). Its horrrible and confuuusing. In a day to day life, we do more multiplications like how many eggs are in 3 packets, if 1 way fare is 2.30, how much is 2 way fare, etc. Only advantage with duodecimal is that it reduces the number of digits like A=10, B=11, etc. If you want to reduce digits in decimal system, then you are free to use D for 10, H for 100, K for 1000, etc. But think of writing numbers in sentences. To say that I bought ten cans of soda, I should write A cans of soda. Does this look nice. Dont jump into a weird system. The guy who maintains this website should be anti-metric. If you go little above in the webpage, he argues that computers have defied metric system. Madan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
