Another benefit of base 12 is that you can count to 12 easily with one hand by using your thumb to count each of the 3 segments on your 4 fingers.

I learned that on that other website prior to the great migration and it blew my mind then.

    Pros scale that up to base 60 by counting to 12 and using the other hand to count how many times they have counted to 12.
