TBH my personal preference is to scrap the idiotic decimal number system and move to base twelve. 🙂

look, I would actually want to learn more about the duodecimal system if there would be youtube/peertube videos about basic math (+, -, ×, ÷) about it.

#dozenal #duodecimal

Just as another reason metric and base ten are inferior.

If deserts are divided into 12 than you can share easily for a family of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12.

#duodecimal #dozenal

When you design UI, you tend to lean toward the “base 12 is superior in every way!” camp. Yes, even better than base 16.

Why? Because: ½ ⅓ ¼! How often do you need a one-fifth of an icon to do something? But half? A third? Exactly!

(“Dozenal” sounds terrible, though.)

What countries use Cavalier when #PlayingCards? Noticed that a playing card suit in #Unicode has four face cards . In the US, the face #cards are Jack, Queen, King. In some countries, the face cards are Jack, Cavalier, King. I don't think anyone uses all four.

I bought a #K6T deck (thegamecrafter·com/games/k6t) last year. Six suits, in six different colors: Hearts, Diamonds; Spades, Clubs; Stars, Moons. Twenty cards per suit. A suit runs

0·1·2·3·4·5·6·7·8·9·10·11·12·J·C·B·T·Q·K·A.

That's Zero for Joker, the Ace _not_ doing double duty as One, and six faceless "court" cards – Jack, Cavalier, Bishop, Tower, Queen, King – represented by chess pieces. (You can buy an extension pack with traditional face cards.)

I bought the #Dozenal extension pack instead. It replaces "ten, eleven, twelve" with "dek, el, dō" and continues with dō-one (dozen-plus-one) through two-dō (two dozen).

That's ninety more cards, though since there's overlap (10·11·12 = X·E·10), the total is 120+90-18=192, 186 without Jokers. Not that I play often, maybe a quarterly game of solitaire while listening to an audioplay. (Dek and el characters, if your typeface is up for it: ↊↋.)

Fun fact: some people are unironicly trying to replace decimal with doudeci-‽ sorry I mean dozenal
So 10 = 12... 🤔... one zero = twelve
I'm using words because þey never managed to agree on a standard set of symbols & how/if to disambiguate from decimal: https://dozenal.org/drupal/sites_bck/default/files/DuodecimalBulletinIssue4a2_0.pdf

Personally, I prefer base 10(10 in base 10(in base ...🤔))

Anyways, remember τ is ðe true circle constant 😎

Wow! There is a Dozenal Society of America dedicated to research and education about base 12 calculations. I had no idea. It makes some sense though to make a base that has lots of factors so it is easier to divide. 12 has 1,2,3,4, the four smallest factors. https://dozenal.org/index.html

Me e dado kuenta que en español eksiste el berbo «adosenar», ke signifika kontar o dibidir por dosenas, pero también tiene las asepsiones de «Inkluir a algien entre jente de kalidad inferior» o «Bolber a algien mediokre o bulgar».
¿Algien sabe de kasualidad kuál es la etimolojía u oríjen de esos signifikados tan partikulares? 🤓

”Oh so they have six fingers then, if they use dozimals instead of decimals?”
Well, maybe. I have considered it. But… you see I can do this even with five fingers? Actually this is an applied 4-base, where part of the fingers track ones, and part track ”tens” (=fours). I can count to eleven with one hand. And the numerical glyphs could even be a depiction of this. Maybe they have five fingers, but two of them are opposable and it’s more natural for them to view them as 2 + 3?

My #K6T deck of #PlayingCards and the #Dozenal extension pack came in. The K6T has 120 cards in six suits: purple stars, blue moons, green clubs, orange diamonds, red hearts, and black spades. Each suit starts with a 0 (joker) and 1 (not ‘ace’), the usual 2-10, and an added 11 and 12; each ends with ace. There are six court #cards: Jack (pawn), Cavalier (knight), Bishop, Tower (rook), Queen, King. (I remember the order as “JaCoB The QuicK”.)

I also got the 90-card dozenal extension pack, which adds fifteen cards per suit. It replaces ‘ten’ with ‘dek’ (turned-2), ‘eleven’ with ‘el’ (turned-3), then adds do (10=dozen; rhymes with ‘no’), then do one, do two, …. do dek, do el, two do (two dozen).

The suits can be divided into footed (spades, clubs, moons) versus non-footed (diamonds, hearts, stars) trios, or in “traditional” couples (spades & clubs, hearts & diamonds, moons & stars), even though the color of diamonds and clubs have changed, and the other pair is new. (I think “footed” moons is a bit odd, personally, but can’t really think of a different themed pair, one of which has a natural “foot”.)

The #deck is designed by Pionissimo and I got it from The Game Crafter website.

So what is the end result of all of this Dozenal exploration?

When I give a handout, making something like a dozenal clock gives a sense of familiar AND being in another world. Other worlds, even alternate WW2 settings have a different history. In this case, the Romans counted with base 12 instead of Base 10.
