Babylonian 60

Today we count in base ten, but the ancient Babylonians counted in base 60 (sexagesimal), because they could count to 60 using their hands. They counted the three bones of each finger on one hand using the thumb on the same hand (start at the top of your little finger and count down the bones 1... 2... 3. then move on to the next finger 4... 5... 6... and so on). Having got to 12 you count this off as one '12' on the other hand and go back to the beginning. You can do this five times, with twelve bones per time and thus count to 60 on two hands without having to write anything down.

This Babylonian numbering system is the reason behind 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. Also 12 inches in a foot, 360 degrees in a circle and any number of other imperial measurements. Also, numbers which are multiples of 12 (such as 24, 60, and 144) are all also divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6, whereas 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5 - so it's easier to count halves, quarters and thirds in a base 12 system.

If you understand binary, you can count to 1023 on your fingers.

1st finger is 1. 2nd finger is 2. 3rd finger is 4. 5th finger is 8. (Doubles each time)

So for 9, you'd stick out fingers 1 and 5. Using all 10 fingers like that, you can count up to 1023.

I think your first sentence was the most relevant.

Haha oops. Finger 4 is value 8. From one end your fingers are 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512. By holding up the correct combination you can have anything up to 1023.

Yes I did, had to search for it BUT knew what I was looking for. I saw it on QI, a few years ago. Series M, episode 5 'maths'

Found it fascinating and always wondered why we use 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24 hours etc.
