In history counting has been done modulo 12 and 20 besides 10 and as far as I recall other crazy ways were common in the old ME. Still some leftovers in "dozen" (and Swedish "tjog" for 20 when counting eggs) as well as with the previous UK money system based on both 12 (pence) and 20 (shillings) :). Taro
