> Sumerians used a Base-60 numbering system, and were exceedingly advanced in mathematics. I've sort of thought 60 might be a nice base to work in. Some mathematicians prefer base-12 because it works with a wide number of factors and base-60 is just adding a factor of 5 to base-12. The result would be a base with an even wider variety of factors and, ideally, fewer instances of fractional amounts.
