		The Duodecimal system (also known as base-twelve or dozenal) is a numeral system using twelve as its base.
		Being a versatile denominator in fraction may explain why we have 12 inches in a foot, 12 ounces in a troy pound, 12 old British pence in a shilling, 12 items in a dozen, 12 dozens in a gross, 12 gross in a great gross, etc.
		The Dozenal Society of America and Dozenal Society of Great Britain promote this base 12 system, arguing that it is better than the decimal system mathematically and in many other ways.

		Zirkel, 63, is past president and gray eminence of the Dozenal Society of America, which, as its name implies, is interested in the number 12.
		In fact, the Dozenal Society is convinced that 12 is a much better way to go than 10.
		There are 12 items per dozen, 12 dozen per gross (the origin of the word "grocer'), 12 hours on the clock, 12 x 2 hours in a day, 12 x 5 seconds in a minute, 12 x 5 minutes in an hour, 12 tones in a musical scale, 12 x 30 degrees in a circle.

		By the time we grew and became involved in the work-a-day world, where a practical knowledge of a dozen and a gross were useful, we had become so accustomed to ten that we may have wondered why dozens were even used.
		In fact, these dozenal disciples have always been outside the castle walls, just annoying the Decimal Court with their "numerical factors" and their "dozens." Thanks to the "five-per-hand" model, they have fought a losing battle.
		Because a dozen can be shared equally in more ways than ten, I believe that ten has become associated, in our minds, due to times of hardship, with more stress than a dozen.

		Base twelve (also known as dozenal and originally as duodecimal) has long been singled out as a possible replacement for base ten, offering many advantages over base ten.
		The DSGB, The Dozenal Society of Great Britain (founded 1959) and the DSA, The Dozenal Society of America (founded 1944) are separate organisations with a common aim: to draw attention to the advantages of the Dozen (or twelve-based) system for numeration and measurement.
		By advocating the adoption of a more flexible numbering system for both scientific and general use we are also supporting the opinions of those philosophers and mathematicians, both past and present, who have thought about the matter.

		A secondary advantage is that 12 has more divisors, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and12 verses 1, 2, 5, and 10 for 10.
		The Dozenal Society of America was founded in 1944 and its members have developed a base 12 system of weights and measure that is far superior not only to the English system but also to the French metric system.
		The metric system is incomplete because it does not have a calendar of 10 months, a clock of 10 hours, nor a circle of 100 degrees.

		When you use the duodecimal (dozenal) system rather than the decimal system, factorials are easier to represent (because they have more trailing zeroes); and some fundamental physical constants are easier to represent (we don't know why yet).
		Dozenal: Base Twelve http://ghs1.greenheart.com/billh/twelve.html Explains why some mathematicians believe that we should scrap our decimal system and use instead a numbering system that has a base of twelve.
		http://www.gorm.com/age/base/ Its advocates include the Duodecimal Society of America and the Cha-Hinsa Society, which advocates inserting two new numerals, Cha and Hinsa, prior to 10.
