No it doesn't. Base 12 has factors 2,2,3
Didn't know we ever weren't metric in this country - apart from a few
grandparents who remember the dark ages ;-#) No one I know actually has
a feeling for how long a foot is or how ever a lb may be. We all have
to mentally carry the conversion factors for when people talk ancient
units.
When is the US going to see the error of its ways and start using proper
measurements like the rest of the world ?
In my student days, the uni radio club (G3KMI) kept its accounts in
complex notation. The Real accounts that the Students union saw and
based their grants to us on, and the Imaginary money we got from trading
radio stuff at rallies etc.
Enough of this nonsense, back to LF (or work)

Base 12 has factors, 2,3,4 and 6.
Before we went metric in the UK (backward step), there were a
lot of good
ideas floating around. I still have a book on the Reverse
Notation, which
advocated a base of 12, but also advocated positive and
negative money. The
only drawback seemed to be that most people wouldn't
cooperate and would
simply throw away negative money, hi!
