12 and 60 are superior highly composite numbers¹ — as is 360, the number of degrees in a circle and the number of days in a year (with a little engineering work TBD).
Speaking of circles, SI hasn't fixed Hz vs rad, have they?

- oasisbob 8y ago> Speaking of circles, SI hasn't fixed Hz vs rad, have they? I don't think so. Anyone who hasn't heard of the Hz/radian issue should see the "Hz" definition in the units definition file shipped along with Frink - if you like finding interesting rants in unexpected places, it's delightful: https://futureboy.us/frinkdata/units.txt https://futureboy.us/frinkdata/units.txt
- SiempreViernes 8y agoAppropriately, it now contains several outdated rants, showing vast impact these redefinition have: we'll all get an update to units.txt soon!
