I am addicted to the BBC’s podcast of Melvyn Bragg’s “In Our Time” show, and in a recent edition called “The Measurement of Time,” Bragg’s panel of experts explained that we have the Babylonians to thank for our odd division of hours into 60 minutes, and minutes into 60 seconds, not to mention circles into 360 degrees. They simply liked that many whole numbers, including 12, could be multiplied to make 60. And since they hadn’t yet invented fractions, this was important. Love your designs!
