- gladiatr72 4y agoHeh. Yeah, I guess. Maybe I'm an idiot, but the idea of a minute being a unit of a base-60 system didn't occur to me til round the time I was learning about complimentary binary arithmetic.
- InitialLastName 4y agoI think you're not unusual in not having thought about it, but there's value in being able to intuitively extend your understanding of decimal math to cover it.
- gladiatr72 4y agoYeah, because it isn't required to facilitate the functional understanding of rough time (>=1s/tick) intervals. I understood how perceiving numerical values in various bases is useful, just not how it applies to the post.
