minus-squarethreelonmusketeerslinkfedilinkEnglish2•11 days agoStill doesn’t explain why the clock goes from 1 to 12, and not 0 to 11.
minus-square@MintyFresh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish7•11 days agoIt does. 0-11 and 1-12 contain the same (12) amount of hours. Saying “twelve thirty two” just rolls off the tongue easier than “zero thirty two” or “o thirty two”. Not to mention zero is a much later invention than the sexagesimal system. Also here’s a clock with zero on it.

minus-square@ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglish11•11 days agoYes except why is no single digit except for 0 zero-padded?

minus-square@PlexSheep@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish3•11 days agoAlso 12 can be divided by many factors (1;2;3;4;6;12) where as 11 is a prime number.
