Measuring dry goods by volume instead of by weight? Good luck ever getting consistent results.
Base 10 math is the most intuitive for humans. Fractions are an abomination.
- njarboe 8y agoMath isn't intuitive for humans. It takes a lot of work to learn it and most people don't remember any of it past school age. If we taught base 12 instead of 10 it would be just as intuitive.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoBut we don't. The number system used in the western world is base 10. So why add base 12 on top of that?
