More Time = Longer Distance / Slower Velocity

Bacon is extremely important to warpus. :scan: Ideally your new system should have a whole month named for it.
Warpus cannot survive with only bacon and food, he still needs clothes to wear, house to live, car to drive, something fun like computer and internet to keep him well in fortune.

We can have a month named after food, but we also need one each for clothes, house, transportation, education and entertainment(that's only 6 out a dozen), so we covers the foundation of varieties.

Lol, even Justin Bieber doesn't perform the entire concert show from the very beginning to the very end. Selena Gomez, Usher and many other dancers take turns on the stage to attract the audience.

How about warpus orders a special computer keyboard with a unique bacon button, so he can push it whenever he feels the needs during the chats.

Count the open hand as a unit. Or else count the bones in your fingers
13OMBGw1e0AVrO.gif

This is the base of the assumption why the Sumerians had first a 12 based number system (using your left hand thumb to count)
Also assumed is that you used the finger positions of the other hand, sticking out 1-5 fingers, to be able to count to 60 (5*12)
The 60 based number system was used in math and very practical.

As a side note
The proof of justness, a kind of early scientific elegance as reason to have faith in the proof, by symbolic numbers for 12 was:
3 being the number of planes (upperworld, earth, underworld) and 4 being the number of (compass) directions form 7 (3+4) and 12 (3*4). Both became "self-evident" holy numbers.

I have never seen any keyboards like those, and which key is for the bacon?

BTW, no serious Canadian would be caught dead claiming Justin Bieber as one of us anymore. The U.S. can have him, along with Celine Dion and Wayne Gretzky.
 
The only problem about base-60 is that we need to memorize all 60 symbols and the multiplication table containing 3,481 entries.

the 60 symbols are certainly doable at young age, is a bit like 60 words for your brain, and as writing symbols the normal alfabet + the greek alfabet with minors and capitals.
If you look at the cuneiform representation of numbers it looks BTW more similar to our decimal system in the way they wrote the numbers.

The multiplication table is of another league, but it is amazing what we can memorise.
A freak like Gauss learned the logaritm table at 7 or 8 digits accuracy, to have a fast tool for multiplying and dividing.
Perhaps we find one day cuneiform tablets telling us how Sumerians handled this.
 
@Valka If he's always happy he's probably always on some sort of drug. And we wouldn't want to encourage constant druggery

Honestly though, I wish each month had the same number of days. And 365 is divisible by 5 so.. So make each week 5 days long, 3 work days and 2 rest days.

That gives you 73 weeks in a year. And 73 is a prime number, so... Make the 73rd week of the year a bonus week that's not part of any month.

That's 72 weeks, meaning we could have 12 months, each one with 6 weeks or 30 days. And then BONUSMONTH which has 5 days, right before the new year begins

PERFECT. And if some employers don't like the 3 work days 2 off days thing, alternate between that and 4 work days and 1 off days.

That cuneiform is sooooo base 10 though. The inefficiency is that each increased number gets more complicated, which is a total waste of effort.

This is a 5-dozen-base math which it's different from base-60 or 6-decimal-base, my format should be easier to remember than that cuneiform and narrower in font shapes:
base-5d-symbols-png.478332

If we have the brain to memorize the huge addition and multiplication tables, this will certain work.

It's possible to print the multiplication table on 1 single piece of paper using the 5d-base. Why waste the papers and inks when you don't have to?


We currently have 52 unique Vegas cards(not including Jokers) which contain 13 per suit(spade, heart, diamond, club). If our math system had been dozenal based, there would be 8 additional cards(2 per suit), so common card games like Windows Hearts can be played by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 players instead of just 2 or 4.


Perfection may be the perfect judge in this case.

Any bonus week or bonus day will serve as a remainder to the division. If we give 10 apples to 3 people evenly, 1 must land in the garbage bin in order to work.

We can't ask the moon to revolve one dozen cycle around the Earth, then freeze for 5.25 days to make up the 365.25 days.

I vote for adding a weekend day. We could subtract 3 hours from each of the seven days to make an eight day, 21 hours a day week... and we shall call the 8th day Sommersday :D

"Oh but Sommers that will mess up the day-night cycle!":sad:

So what? Fine just add the day outright and get rid of January 6-31 and February 3-28. Everyone with birthdays those months can just pick a new day.

SERIOUSLY - Can someone tell me what this thread even is?!
It's about several topics - change number of days in a week, base-dozen-math and some Planet system science.

It's okay if you don't understand the formulas, just don't be mad.

Your 3 days total weekend(60 * 60 * 21 * 3 = 226,800 seconds) is absolutely short than my 2 days weekend(72 * 72 * 24 * 2 = 248,832 seconds).

Because my days are relatively longer, although people work for 4 out 6 days, they get to rest more daily during the evening time.

Dozenal 60 is decimal 72.

Yes but to what purpose? And most of the science has been wrong anyway.
 
Any bonus week or bonus day will serve as a remainder to the division.

I think my math checks out. 72 weeks x 5 days each = 360 days = 12 months x 30 days each

You get 5 days left, giving you the bonus month/week/whater period at the end of the year

But BUT!!! (I shall now use my imaginary strawman argument that I preemptively used against myself, against you instead)... If we make the days longer in length, won't that screw up the day/night cycle and give everyone chronic fatigue, depression and dementia?

More importantly 3 days instead of 2 means you get to sleep-at-night three times instead of 2, you get to eat 9 meals instead of 6 and you get to tell you significant other "Let's have our daily sex" 3 times (or more if that's your bag) instead of 2.

In other words... my plan is superior in every imaginable sense ;)

There are no laws stating you may only have 1 sex per day, only 3 meals per day, people can always take afternoon naps if they want, those are merely traditions.

It's the sun that patterns the human daily cycle and the entire ecosystem. Planet Earth was created first, then humans were implemented to that cycle, not the opposite way.

We don't have another living planet reachable by the scientists in this modern era, otherwise the contrasts can be observable. People from the 18th century would be stunned for sure if they saw airplanes flying across the sky.

Most people learned their first language much better without accents, but had hard times to naturalize the speaking after immigrations. I don't blame you if you cannot adjust to a new time cycle.

If we post a poll which language is the best in the world, almost everyone will say his/her own.

Former President Barack Obama's theme was "Change", and any major changes to the existing human policies would for sure stirring up huge debates.

Most Americans think pink is only for females, but indeed colors are for everyone, Justin Bieber proved -

"No laws" in what country? There are many countries in this world. Do you know all the laws in all of them?

Some people can only eat 1 meal per day.

Sweatshop workers cannot "take afternoon naps if they want" nor can people who work in the afternoon. Siesta is not a thing in many countries.

The big bang was first, then the stars then the planets then life.

We don't live in pyramids except for in Las Vegas. People from areas without running water are shocked when they see how sinks and toilets work.

If we post a poll asking what sport is the best, almost everyone will say its their favourite one.

Stephen Colbert's theme was "A better tomorrow, tomorrow" and major things will happen tomorrow that didn't happen today, stirring up all kinds of debates.

Most non-Americans think that their countries are better than America but Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr., proved-

I mean, it's pretty easy to squeeze in leap days. So that's not a problem.
My problem is that if the squeezed-in days are not consistent each year, the weekdays will shift once every 4 years which make the calendar harder to memorize.
 
I do like the idea of always addressing him as Moderator Arakhor, it's very sci-fi. But what's that got to do with this thread and the poor science it contains?
