    If you don’t fight it and accept that imperial is designed with base 12 and not base 10, everything makes more sense. Measurements across all of imperial are to be cut into 12, 6, 4, 3, or 2.

    Sometime base 12 works really nicely, especially outside of a lab, when you want to be able to have as many options for division easily as possible.
