Quote - Actually like the idea of metric time. And what about a 100 degree circle? The old base six math is as old as civilization.
Base sixty, not six.
OK, so 100 degrees to the circle; how many degrees in each angle of an equilateral triangle?
There's a decimal clock - or was (I was there in 1962) - in Dusseldorf; three faces normal and one decimal. And wasn't the clock in "Metropolis" decimal, or was it in a Chaplin film?
Never did like decimals; counting in twelves is a far more elegant and sensible system. (If you're interested, Google "dozenal".)
