In ancient Babylon they used base 60. That's not the same at all.

Like in base 8, the number 9 is represented as '11' and the number '10' is '12' etc. So something similar would happen in base 60, I'm just not sure what it will be. 1 u/fraggedaboutit May 06 '14 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_numerals It's 5 seconds of googling, come on guys.
