was looking at a vintage folding rule my partner has. it’s one of those beautifully crafted wooden, boxwood and brass tools. it’s by Hockley Abbey (John Rabone and Sons tools in Birmingham, UK). common thing as they were making 27,000 a week by 1945!
but it’s the #numerals that i’m taken by, look at the curls on the 2 and 3.

I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII is doch richtig gezählt oder?

Shit, wenn du im grunde dein ganzes leben mit arabischen ziffern lebst aber dieses eine spiel ausgerechnet die neu zu bauenden flotten in römischer zahlschrift die angriffsflotten durchnummerieren will.

P.s.: Ja natürlich is das richtig gezählt, andere quellen waren eh schneller. ;)

Arabic numerals (1,2,3 etc) originated in India.

Part of the reason the British public is so bad at mathematics is because they remain suspicious of this “foreign muck” and “EU bureaucracy”.

"A Number System Invented by Inuit Schoolchildren Will Make Its Silicon Valley Debut

In the remote Arctic almost 30 years ago, a group of Inuit middle school students and their teacher invented the Western Hemisphere’s first new number system in more than a century. The “Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from Silicon Valley, they will soon be available on smartphones and computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm."

I was recently blown away by the Kaktovik numerals developed by Iñupiat middle school students in 1994, which make arithmetic much easier and are base-20:

Another indigenous group, the Maya, used a similar base-20 system:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_num
I'm thinking of applying something like these to a base-12 system for a language I'm playing with, though base-60 isn't looking bad either (used by the Sumerians among others):
