      You don’t need to add or multiply time very often. Division is super important tho, and base60 is better than base10 for that.

      base12 has the advantage of being divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6, while base10 is only divisible by 2 and 5.

        You listed 2 twice(thrice if counting 6) for base12 and once for base10. Generally, when talking about bases better talk only about prime factors. Base12 has 2 and 3 as prime factors, while base10 has 2 and 5.
