By using your thumb as a pointer you can easily and naturally count up to twelve (four fingers, three segments each). You count up to sixty by using the fingers of your other hand to maintain a tally of twelves, or if you want to go for the max, using both hands for twelves gives you 144. <BR/><BR/>This is at least as natural as counting in fives and tens, and simplifies division because sixty is divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,10,12, 15,20 and 30Steve_Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741170426828516479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-79334609162343040322007-12-27T14:00:00.000+00:002007-12-27T14:00:00.000+00:00woah! that must have taken balls to admit! a twin ...woah! that must have taken balls to admit! a twin cousin.. hmmm.dizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250325010662356883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-49185874017451603912007-12-27T13:54:00.000+00:002007-12-27T13:54:00.000+00:00The first episode introducing Martha noted in pass...The first episode introducing Martha noted in passing that she had a cousin who died at the Canary Wharf battle.<BR/><BR/>I wish I didn't know that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-59401539546776794262007-12-27T13:34:00.000+00:002007-12-27T13:34:00.000+00:00No, that is where she ended up.
